April 11, 2012 -- RayBiotech, Inc. today announced that it has entered into a co-marketing partnership with Innopsys of Carbonne, France to promote the sales of RayBiotech’s G-Series and Quantibody series of antibody arrays and array testing services with Innopsys’ Innoscan laser microarray scanning platforms. The terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
Commenting on the partnership RayBiotech’s President, COO and Co-founder, Rani Huang stated, “We are delighted to formally partner with Innopsys to co-market and promote our antibody arrays and antibody array testing services with Innopsys microarray scanners and laser scanning technologies. This represents the first in a series of partnerships we will pursue in 2012 with private as well as academic and government institutions to drive RayBiotech products and services exposure and acceptance in the research community. The Innopsys Innoscan microarray laser scanning platform is our preferred choice of scanning instrumentation for our G-Series and Quantibody series microarray-based products and services.”
Innopsys CEO Stephane Le Brun added, “We are equally encouraged by this partnership which we hope will be the beginning of a fruitful effort between Innopsys and Raybiotech. Innopsys’ Innoscan scanners will give Raybiotech and their customers the tools they need to obtain their data both quickly and accurately. Innopsys sees proteomics as one of its largest areas of growth, thus we view a partnership with Raybiotech as a solid reinforcement to our already growing presence in this sector.
