title: Gentronix.
abstract: Gentronix is an innovative biotechnology company with the aim of providing cell-based assays and systems to ease or remove some of the current bottlenecks in preclinical drug discovery and development. Gentronix's first product, GreenScreen trade mark GC, is a combined genotoxicity and cytotoxicity test designed for high-throughput screening of new pharmaceutical lead compounds, giving drug development scientists a cost-effective preview of the battery of mandatory regulatory genotoxicity tests. Future products based on the company's extensive intellectual property rights portfolio will combine the company's expertise in cellular biosensor systems with novel optical detection technology to deliver a range of products for other applications within drug discovery, as well as industrial and environmental monitoring of toxic chemicals.
