(Newcastle upon Tyne, UK and Bangkok, Thailand). Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd reinforced their commitment to expanding business in Asia by announcing the appointment of Bio-Active Company Ltd. as exclusive distributor in Thailand for its Phoretix software products. Bio-Active specializes in providing technology solutions to the growing base of molecular biology researchers in Thailand, and is a leading seller of analytical systems for gel electrophoresis techniques. With access to Nonlinear products, Bio-Active can now expand the services it provides to its extensive base of electrophoresis users.

"The number of scientists in Thailand employing gel methods is large and continues to grow, as more research projects are being refocused on proteomics studies. We know that these scientists are becoming more sophisticated, and are demanding faster and more effective software tools for analyzing gel images and for managing the data generated from those images," said Suwan Pongsunk, Bio-Active's Managing Director. "We are delighted to be in a position to provide next-generation software solutions from Nonlinear, which will help Thai scientists improve the quality and expand the scope of their research."
