Toronto's Mt. Sinai to Use Xceed Molecular's Gene Expression System

Sep 23, 2008
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – The reference laboratory at Toronto’s Mt. Sinai Hospital will use Xceed Molecular’s gene expression analysis systems to provide services to North American translational research customers and for use in the hospital’s own programs, the company said today.
 
The Mt. Sinai’s Services unit, which is CLIA-certified by the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation Program, has acquired the company’s Ziplex System.
 
Xceed’s CEO, David Deems, said the partnership allows the company to expand service offerings in North America and to validate its new Xpress Chips — preconfigured arrays that are being developed “for a wide range of disorders.”
 
Financial terms of the agreement were not released.
