Affymetrix: Affymetrix scientists invented the world's first
high-density microarray in 1989 and began selling the first
commercial microarray in 1994. Since then, Affymetrix GeneChip(R)
technology has become the industry standard in molecular biology
research. Affymetrix technology is used by the world's top
pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology companies as well as
leading academic, government and not-for-profit research
institutes. More than 1,300 systems have been installed around the
world and nearly 4,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published
using the technology. Affymetrix' patented photolithographic
manufacturing process provides the most information capacity
available today on an array, enabling researchers to use a
whole-genome approach to analyzing the relationship between
genetics and health. Affymetrix is headquartered in Santa Clara,
Calif. with subsidiaries in Europe and Asia, as well as
manufacturing facilities in Sacramento, Calif. and Bedford, Mass.
The company has about 1,000 employees worldwide. For more
