Industry leaders agree that multiplex array technologies are a key to realizing the therapeutic potential of genomic data. While pioneering companies like Affymetrix offer high-quality product lines, companies with creative technologies--such as Nanogen and Gene Logic--are making gains by offering flexible products for specialized applications such as single nucleotide polymorphism analysis, diagnostics, and high-throughput screening. In addition, emerging technologies such as protein chips and bead-based arrays promise to extend the range and potential of hybridization arrays. This report reviews dozens of companies offering DNA array technology (and related technologies, such as protein chips and microfluidic chips), reviews business issues and challenges, and looks at the strategies of industry leaders.
