ADVISORY/ HTS Biosystems & Applied Biosystems to Present Research on Next-Generation Protein Affinity Array Technology at IBC's Annual International Conference on Antibody Engineering. 


 
Who/What:            New research on HTS Biosystems' and Applied 
                     Biosystems' proprietary biomolecular kinetic 
                     analysis technology will be presented at IBC Life 
                     Sciences' 13th Annual International Conference on 
                     Antibody Engineering (December 1-4, 2002). This 
                     next-generation microarray-based SPR (surface 
                     plasmon resonsance) system is designed to help 
                     researchers profile and characterize biomolecular 
                     interactions in a parallel format, while 
                     decreasing costs associated with this productive 
                     type of quantitative analysis. 
 
                     Highlights: 
 
                     -    Early access users of the technology, the 
                          University of Utah and Dyax Corp., will 
                          present their preliminary utility experience 
                          with the system. 
 
                     -    Demonstrations of the technology's user 
                          interface will be offered at the Applied 
                          Biosystems booth at the conference. 
 
Why:                 -    The Antibody Engineering Meeting will 
                          enable HTS Biosystems and Applied Biosystems 
                          to showcase their progress in the 
                          development of advanced, label-free SPR 
                          array technology designed to accelerate drug 
                          discovery R&D with higher throughput, 
                          content-rich biomolecular binding 
                          characterization screening. 
 
 
 
Where:               Paradise Point Resort 
                     1404 Vacation Road 
                     San Diego, CA 92109 
 
When:                The oral research presentations include: 
 
                     -    Sunday, December 1, 1:40 p.m. (PST): 
                          Affinity Biosensing to the nth Degree 
                          (Dr. David Myszka, Center for Biomolecular

Viacom Puts HTS Network on the Block

  Viacom Inc. said yesterday that it will sell Home Team Sports, the valuable Washington regional sports cable television network, as part of the $91 billion merger of Viacom and CBS. Viacom Inc. said it will combine CBS Cable and MTV Networks as part of the deal but has no desire to own several parts of CBS Cable, including HTS; the Midwest Sports Channel, which serves Minneapolis and Milwaukee; or the advertising services firm Group W Sports Marketing. Viacom started to look for an HTS buyer even before the merger was finalized, MTV spokeswoman Carole Robinson said, adding that there are "several interested buyers," which she declined to name. CBS Cable owns 66 percent of Bethesda-based HTS, with the other 34 percent held by Fox Sports Net, which is assembling a group of regional cable sports networks throughout the United States and would be one logical purchaser. Robinson, CBS Cable spokeswoman Cheryl Daly and Jody Shapiro, a senior vice president of CBS Cabl...
