HistoRx Announces Launch of New Research Services

AQUAPrep™ AND Access AQUA® SERVICES NOW AVAILABLE

Branford, CT - May 3, 2011 – HistoRx, Inc., announced today the launch of two new services for academic researchers interested in using AQUA® technology.  HistoRx’s proprietary technology enables in situ analysis of biomarkers, including measurement of protein concentration with sub-cellular resolution in both whole tissue sections and tissue microarrays.  These highly quantitative, standardized and reproducible results take the guesswork out of IHC.

HistoRx provides AQUA analysis services for academic researchers interested in precise, accurate and reproducible protein expression quantification for their whole tissue or tissue microarray projects, giving researchers access to AQUA analysis without the cost of instrument purchase.  Academic scientists who want to use AQUA technology today have to buy a fluorescent digital microscopy system to acquire the images to be analyzed.  HistoRx recognizes that researchers often need high-quality data prior to the availability of funds for equipment purchase, such as proof-of-concept or grant support studies, and HistoRx wants to enable the expansion of AQUA technology’s use into new areas.

“We’ve received several requests from universities to conduct one-time studies, or a short series of investigations, on their behalf for grant support,” said Mark Gustavson, Assistant Director of Operations at HistoRx.   “AQUA analysis is a powerful tool and we want to ensure the widest possible access.  Providing the rigorous data to support development of new biological insights and clarify the benefits of a lab’s eventual equipment purchase is in everyone’s best interests.”
