| MERIDEN - Packard BioScience Co. (NASDAQ: PBSC) has announced the issuance of U.S. Patent 6,112,605, entitled “Method for Dispensing and Determining a Microvolume of Sample Liquid.'' The 31 claims of this patent cover methods and devices to enable low-cost, industrial-scale manufacturing of protein and DNA microarrays by using robot-controlled, inkjet-style printing technology. This technology was created by Packard for the production of biochips, which are microarrays containing microspots of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins and cells. This new patent provides broad and fundamental coverage encompassing accurate dispensing of multiple droplets in a single microspot of a microarray, making possible the manufacture of high-quality protein chips where high sensitivity and assay specificity are key requirements.
