Molecular Devices Corporation acquired Axon Instruments in order to expand its product offerings in life sciences and drug discovery and to expand its engineering and product development capabilities. Axon's historical mission to enable discovery in biology through the provision of innovative high-technology instrumentation and software blended well with Molecular Devices goals.
The Company was founded in 1983 to design, manufacture and market instrumentation and software for cellular neurosciences and biophysical research. Today the Company is recognized as the world leader in signal amplification instruments and related data acquisition and analysis products for cellular neuroscience. Our Axoclamp and Axopatch series microelectrode amplifiers and Digidata® series analog-to-digital conversion systems have lower instrumentation noise than any competing products. The MultiClamp microelectrode amplifier represents a new generation of electrophysiological amplifier, being entirely computer controlled. It incorporates more features than any other amplifier available available and reached new heights of sophistication with the release of the 700B version in late 2003.
