Why this company? Because I know about it. As I said, this company or a similar company. I happen to know about Affymetrix, and it would be using "biomedical lithography." Symbol is NASD:AFFX. See SI Talk:Medical:Affymetrix(AFFX). From the Affymetrix Company Report: Affymetrix has developed and intends to establish its GeneChip system as the platform of choice for acquiring, analyzing and managing complex genetic information in order to improve the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease. The Company's GeneChip system consists of disposable DNA probe arrays containing gene sequences on a chip, reagents for use with the probe arrays, a scanner and other instruments to process the probe arrays and software to analyze and manage genetic information. Additional information on Affymetrix and GeneChip technology can be found at affymetrix.com. I have read a couple articles on this product, and it is a potentially important development. The GeneChip is fabricated in a manner similar to a semiconductor, hence the "biomedical lithography" reference. Please check them out at their web site. Articles I read were from Fortune (cover story) and some other business mags and some scientific mags, perhaps, Inc. or Forbes, and perhaps Scientific American or Discovery. I don't remember the dates of the issues. Check out the SI thread and analysts: some think this one is ready to go orbital. It has already doubled in value since October. Think about that JMARians...
