AFFYMETRIX
 

AFFYMETRIX (AFFX): The firm’s scientists invented the world's first microarray in 1989 and began selling the first commercial microarray in 1994. Since then, Affymetrix GeneChip® has become the industry standard and is used by pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology companies, research institutes, governments and not-for-profit research institutes.
