MetriGenix

MetriGenix was a life sciences tools company that developed and commercialized the 4D Array System, a proprietary flow-through microarray technology. Unlike traditional flat-surface microarrays, the 4D Array utilized a three-dimensional microfluidic chip to enhance the speed and sensitivity of genomic and proteomic analysis. The company's products were designed for gene expression profiling, SNP genotyping, and diagnostic applications. MetriGenix was headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and served the pharmaceutical and academic research markets. In 2004, the company's assets were acquired by Pall Corporation to bolster its molecular diagnostics and laboratory business.
