2004: Parallel Synthesis introduces Silicon Microarray Technology for Printing
DNA and Protein Microarrays
PSTI
introduces Silicon Microarray™ Technology - a highly innovative micromachined
silicon toolset for printing DNA and protein microarrays. This novel design
provides users with a technology that improves pin-to-pin uniformity, eliminates
the prespotting step, and greatly reduces dead volume, carryover and the 'missing
spot' phenomenon. More....

2003: PSTI Received SBIR Grant From NIH - NHGRI
PSTI
has received a SBIR Phase I grant for the National Human Genome Research Institute
of the NIH titled "Micromachined Si Printhead for Microarray Fabrication.
August
2003: PSTI relocates to Santa Clara
PSTI
relocates to its new state of the art research and microfabrication facility
from Menlo Park to Santa Clara.
July
2003: PSTI receives SBIR Phase II grant from NSF-Biotechnology
PSTI
has received a SBIR phase II grant from NSF-BioTechnology titled "Microfabricated
Silicon Devices for Low Cost Microarrays".
July
2002: PSTI Receives SBIR Grant from NSF-Biotechnology
PSTI
has received a SBIR grant from NSF-BioTechnology titled "Microfabricated
Silicon Devices for Low Cost Microarrays". This SBIR project will provide
a new, commercially viable micromachined silicon technology platform for the
printing of DNA microarrays that will supply arrays of a higher quality and
much lower cost than the current steel pin technology.
July 2002: PSTI PSTI Receives SBIR Grant from NSF-Biotechnology
PSTI
has received a SBIR grant from NSF-BioTechnology titled "Crystallization
of Soluble Proteins with Heterogeneous Nucleants".This efforts of this
SBIR project will provide the use of a new type of nanoengineered surface
to epitaxially nucleate protein crystals. These surfaces should greatly accelerate
most high throughput Structural Genomics efforts.
March
2002: PSTI Receives SBIR Grant from NIH-NHGRI
PSTI has received a SBIR Grant for the National
Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH to investigate a new method of
in situ synthesis of long DNA oligomers in a chip based format. The technology
to be developed is a specially micromachined silicon wafer that allows small
amounts of high fidelity DNA to be synthesized very rapidly.
February 2002: PSTI Appoints Scientific Advisory Board
Parallel Synthesis Technologies has appointed the
first distinguished members of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The chairman
of the PSTI SAB is Professor Ronald W. Davis, Professor of Biochemistry and
Genetics and Director, Stanford Genome Technology Center. Also appointed were
Professor John T. Groves, Hugh Stott Taylor Professor of Chemistry, and Professor
Alexander McPherson, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, University of California
at Irvine.
