MOLECULAR DEVICES LLC.

Company Overview

Molecular Devices LLC, established in 1983, is headquartered in San Jose, Calif. The company provides analytical solutions for protein and cell biology, which enables biotherapeutics development, science research and life science research. The company provides a broad product portfolio and develops platforms for high-throughput screening, cellular analysis, genomics, microplate detection and colony section. The company offers a wide product portfolio, which includes molecular plate readers, cellular imaging, clone screening, AXON-patch clamp, FLIPER tetra high throughput cellular screening, assay kit, accessories and consumables. The microplate reader segment includes multi-mode, absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, microplate stacker, microplate washer, softmax pro software, validation and compliance. Cellular imaging includes high content imaging, acquisition and analysis software. The clone screening segment includes mammalian screening, microbial screening, cell culture media and titer reagents. The AXON patch clamp segment includes amplifiers, digitizers and pCLAMP software. The FLIPR potassium assay kit exploits thallium ion through voltage and ligand-gated potassium channels. The kit offers rapid procedure functional measurement of cell-based assay and measures the functional measurement of potassium channels in cell-based assay. For cardiac toxicity the company offers the development of in vitro assay which are suitable for high-throughput screening and development of drugs. Human cardiomyocytes are derived from stem cells that enable the development of advanced chemicals and improve drug safety. The company develops methods for ImageXpress Micro and FLIPR tetra systems to determine the beating rate and changes in intracellular ca2+. The predictive HTS cell-based assay offers in vitro assay for drug safety.
