Bio-Gene Technology Ltd finished the 5th National Forum on New Technologies in Drug Discovery held in Shanghai Zhangjiang from March 11 to 12, 2013. This event was organized by Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, The National Center for Drug Screening, The Chinese National Compound Library & Queenstown Molecular Biology Meeting. During the course of preparation, it received support from the National Science and Technology Major Project Management Office, Maurice Wilkins Center of New Zealand, Biochemical Journal, Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration, Pudong Association for Science and Technology, Pudong Bioindustry Association, Pudong Engineers Association, Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica and a number of commercial sponsors. Queenstown Molecular Biology Meeting is a well-known international forum with 22 years of history, which has attracted the attendance of numerous scientists, students and entrepreneurs. This is the first time to hold such a prestigious meeting outside New Zealand. Over 300 attendants from universities, research institutes and biopharmaceutical companies were present. Among those participants, around 1/3 of them were from foreign countries.

 

After the meeting, we were invited to visit The Chinese National Compound Library. As the exclusive distributor of BMG LABTECH, the Microplate Reader Company, we have introduced the PHERAstar FS as the next-generation multi-mode HTS microplate reader to the audiences. The PHERAstar FS is the ultimate multi-mode microplate reader for HTS and assay development, especially where speed and sensitivity are imperative. PHERAstar FS not only has all features that one would expect from a high-end HTS microplate reader, but also can support nearly any applications that you can imagine.
