Cupertino , CA - (August 2003) Imaxia Corporation appointed Alpha Innotech Corporation (AIC) as worldwide distributor for GelFox, an advanced software tool for analyzing 2D Gel Electrophoresis. AIC plans to market GelFox two ways: as part of their systems for 2D Gel analysis, and also as a stand-alone software product under the name of a-GelFox.

Tony Hu, president of Imaxia, expressed delight at the strategic alliance with AIC.  “When we introduced GelFox, the enthusiastic response was overwhelming for a young company like ours. We are very happy to team up with AIC for worldwide distribution and service,” said Tony.

Alpha Innotech Corporation is a supplier of integrated solutions for genomic research and drug discovery with core expertise in quantitative imaging, informatics, and molecular biology. AIC maintains its corporate offices in San Leandro , CA , with direct offices in the United Kingdom and Australia . Currently, AIC has thousands of customers in over 40 countries.

Imaxia is a developer of innovative and advanced software for image processing and analysis.  It is targeting the bioinformatics field, and is planning to launch its second product for the analysis of Microarray images.  Imaxia claims the main benefits of GelFox to be:

1.      Easy - user friendly, auto spot detection, automatic or semiautomatic matching requiring only one reference spot, presentation of brighter colors and better contrast, allows use of lower-skill operators

2.      Fast - the whole process takes only several minutes instead of hours

3.      Sensitive - GelFox detects weak spots and flaws

4.      Accurate - proprietary adaptive match algorithm assures exact match even with large distortions.  GelFox calculates intensity change on each spot and identifies missing and new protein spots.
