ABI25年产品和技术革新发展总结.pdfVIP

Twenty-Five Years of Advancing Science June 2006 This year, 2006, Applied Biosystems is celebrating a tremendous milestone—our 25th anniversary. The more than 4,500 people who work at AB and its parent, Applera Corporation, around the globe are excited and inspired by AB’s vision of improving the human condition in lasting ways by creating innovative technologies that revolutionize the life sciences. AB has a rich history of creating instruments, reagents, assays, software, and services in support of the life sciences. Our products are used both in the laboratory and in the field to apply the analysis of genomics, proteomics, and small molecules to disciplines including basic research, pharmaceutical discovery and development, forensics, biosecurity, and food safety testing. For example, our DNA sequencing technology was critical to mapping the human genome and bringing humanity closer to understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive life itself. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Applied Biosystems, this booklet provides a brief overview of our business: how we got started, what we’ve accomplished, and who we are. It was written by Frank Stephenson, senior technical trainer in our Global Product Support group. It gives me great pleasure to share the AB story with you. Catherine M. Burzik President Applied Biosystems We’re going to make the picks and shovels for the biotechnology gold rush.
