BiOMICom Technology
BiOMICom believes that the systematic characterization of various levels of chemical communication in life systems is a valuable area of bioresearch. There is ample evidence in the literature for diffusible components "conditioning" adjacent cells, tissues, or organisms increasing susceptibility or risk from certain processes. We strive to understand the exact mechanisms of such relationships. Our products incorporate the best sampling, isolation, concentration, separation, ionization, ion sampling, and mass spectrometry available.
Our patent portfolio is in three areas, namely, Methods and Apparatus for Marine Chemical Ecology, Methods and Apparatus for Chemical Measurements in Cell and Tissue Cultures, and Method and Apparatus for High-thoughput Bioactivity Screening Platforms Incorporating Cell and Tissue Culture Analytics. EcoNET is a highly automated parallel sample processing system that performs sampling, sample conditioning, isolation and concentration of chemical constituents from seawater. The EcoNET platform enables rapid chemical ecology measurements using high efficiency electrospray ion sources coupled with accurate mass qTOF MS/MS measurement data. EcoNET is an ideal probe into marine chemical ecology and marine cybernetics.

CellNET is an analogous product to EcoNET being developed to characterize endocrine (A) and paracrine (C) cell signaling within cell and tissue cultures with temporal, spatial, and chemical resolution. The system can be used to evaluate bioactivity and also observe chemical response to stress factors in single and co-culture experiments. In the case of co-culture experiments spatial resolution permits the observation of reactive and unique metabolite production selective to one or the other cell line and also the chemical interactions between cell lines.
