Quote:
Acacia's CombiMatrix unit is its crown jewel, says Manning. It makes customized biochips used, among others things, in detecting bio-warfare agents such as bacillus spores--similar to anthrax. Acacia Chairman and CEO Paul Ryan says the biochips are being developed through grants from the Defense Dept. to produce an ultrasensitive handheld system for detecting chemical-warfare agents. CombiMatrix has linked up with Roche, a major maker of diagnostic products, to develop genetic-testing tools for major diseases.
