(Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK and Seoul, Korea). Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, a leading provider of innovative bioinformatics solutions, announced the appointment of Chayon Laboratories, Inc. as Nonlinear's exclusive distributor in Korea for its portfolio of Phoretix brand software applications. Headquartered in Seoul, Chayon is a major reseller of life science research technologies. As the market for analytical genomics and proteomics products in Korea continues to grow rapidly, this alliance will help both Nonlinear and Chayon to fully address the needs of Korean researchers, and will expand Nonlinear's market share for its gel electrophoresis and microarray image analysis and database products.

"Our extensive experience with gel and array systems is an ideal match for Nonlinear's current and future products," said Soo Lim Oh, Chief Executive Officer of Chayon Laboratories. "There is tremendous demand in Korea for solutions which can improve results obtained using both gel and array methods, and which are also easy to learn. As Korean scientists become more sophisticated, they will need better tools to analyze and interpret their experimental data, as well as more comprehensive data management systems. With Nonlinear's Phoretix line, we can provide our customers with the best products available for these critical tasks, and we can serve their needs more effectively."

Dr. Alan Koontz, General Manager, Pacific Rim, for Nonlinear Dynamics, added, "The Korean biotechnology market is experiencing one of the world's highest growth rates, and is devoting substantial resources to create world-class capabilities in the converging areas of genomics and proteomics. With Chayon Laboratories as our selling partner, we can respond to customer needs quickly, helping Korean scientists become more competitive.
