Molecular Dynamics, Inc.
 PROFILE
Molecular Dynamics thinks DNA is dy-no-mite! A subsidiary of APBiotech (formerly Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), the firm makes high-performance instruments that analyze DNA. The Human Genome Project used its MegaBACE DNA sequencers to map the human genome, and such firms as Genset and Incyte Genomics continue to use the system to build DNA libraries for research and drug discovery. Other products include the PhosphorImager, a device that records digital images of DNA in a computer for quantitative analysis. The company collaborates with its parent to develop new systems. The company markets its products worldwide to government and academic genetic researchers, as well as to biotechnology and drug companies.
