PALO ALTO, Calif.--Caliper Technologies announced that it will collaborate with scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory on a $1.4 million Department of Energy Grant to develop high-throughput laboratory-on-a-chip systems to perform proteomics analysis on Caliper's LabChip platform.

Caliper's LabChip platform functions like a "liquid integrated circuit" by managing complex laboratory processes on the surface of a microchip, dramatically miniaturizing, automating, and accelerating laboratory analysis.
