Silver Sponsor
 QTL
Biosystems
website
QTL Biosystems is a supplier of amplification technologies for Drug
Discovery and HTS. The QTL LIGHTSPEED™ assays ("QTL" stands for
"quencher-tether-ligand") couple a quencher molecule with a fluorescent polymer
chain. Each quencher alters fluorescence of several hundred fluorophores. The
enhanced fluorescent activity of "QTL" enables the end user greater
sensitivity, specificity, less time to results, and material cost savings. QTL
Biosystems has applied our novel QTL LIGHTSPEED™ technology to Protease
and Kinase assays. The QTL Lightspeed technology provides a single-step,
instantaneous, homogeneous assay where the amplification step is intrinsic to
the fluorescent polymer. The polymer QTL approach provides a system for
effective sensing of biological agents by observing fluorescence changes.
Bronze Sponsor
