Business Summary
Biacore International AB develops, manufactures and markets analytical instruments that employ affinity-based biosensor technology. This technology utilizes optical measurement based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance for determining the binding properties of biomolecules and their concentration in a sample. The instruments are primarily used for basic life science research and drug discovery, and the main customer groups are medical and life science research laboratories within the pharmaceutical industry, universities and research institutes. Biacore's technology can also be applied in other areas such as food and environmental control.
