Long description

febit synbio gmbh is a part of the febit group and is focusing on the application of febit’s Geniom technology in synthetic biology. We offer DNA-synthesis services, as well as access to our proprietary technology platform, the Geniom DNA synthesis and analyzer device.

febit holds the key patents for microfluidic and biochip derived oligonucleotides applicable in synthetic biology and is constantly putting substantial R&D effort in the further development and improvement of the technology.

Synthetic biology using febit’s Geniom technology platform

De novo dsDNA-synthesis up offers enormous potential and new possibilities with regard to the production of new genes, gene clusters or even whole genomes. Customized production of synthetic DNA provides immediate access to any sequence needed and supports a wide range of possible applications, including engineered molecular biology products, synthetic genes, novel pharmacons and bio-engineered therapeutics.

The unique Geniom technology platform offers an unprecedented and revolutionary approach to modern research in the life sciences. The state of the art device Geniom provides the research community with an excellent toolset for discovery: biochips and biobricks, offering the user a broad range of experimental opportunities:

Biochips: The Geniom device enables the on demand design, synthesis, application and analysis of user-specified biochips in the own laboratory.

The digital-to-DNA workflow allows the swift processing of the most recent sequence data from internet databases into workable biochip experiments and the fine-tuning of such experimental approaches within a short time frame.

In a fully integrated benchtop device Geniom offers not only unparalleled speed and flexibility but also the complete privacy of sensitive research data.

Biobricks: The proprietary Geniom DNA synthesis technology is applied in the biochip based production of any desired DNA sequence. Biochip derived oligonucleotides can then be used to produce synthetic genes, gene clusters or even artificial chromosomes or to prepare pools of individual biobricks thus offering a wide range of applications in synthetic and constructive biology.

Long description

Today, Tyco Thermal Controls is a global company providing optimal solutions for various applications involving heat tracing, floor heating, snow melting & de-icing, temperature measurement, wiring, and leak detection systems. With operations in 48 countries and experience in managing projects around the globe, Tyco Thermal Controls is the ideal partner for companies worldwide. Currently, we manufacture and distribute products and provide services under brand names such as Raychem,Pyrotenax,Pyrotenax-Jiuli TM, DigiTrace , Tracer TM, Isopad, T2 TM, TraceTek, and WinterGard.The roots of Tyco Thermal Controls can be traced back to Raychem Corporation which was based in Menlo Park, CA. The following paragraphs contain a short history of how Tyco Thermal Controls came into existence and how it has transformed into a world leader in heat-tracing solutions.

In 1957, Raychem (formed from Radiation Chemistry) Corporation was founded by Paul Cook, an inventor and engineer. Among its many achievements, Raychem has been renowned for more than thirty years as the inventors and purveyors of self regulating heat-tracing technology. Raychem acquired Chemelex in 1969 for their for their Celotherm constant wattage heater technology. From there Raychem invented the world's first self regulating heating cable that soon became the industry standard for pipe freeze protection and temperature maintenance applications. Over the next 20 years, Raychem continued R &D focus in the area of polymer science and continued to develop and market innovative solutions. Finally, In 1998 Raychem acquired Thorin & Thorin - a Swedish Floor heating specialist - and entered the underfloor heating market, a business which continues to grow today on a worldwide level.

In 1999, Raychem Corporation was purchased by Tyco International and split into two segments; electronics and heat tracing. The former Raychem Heat-Tracing Division was renamed Raychem HTS (for Heat-Tracing Systems) and placed within Tyco's Flow Control Division. There it began to grow through acquisition, obtaining different heat-tracing related companies such as Accutron, Isopad, and Tracer Industries. The latter, Tracer Industries, would prove to have a major impact on the capabilities of Tyco Thermal Controls as it brought the company a full range of engineering, design and construction capabilities.

In January 2001, Tyco Thermal Controls acquired LG-Cable's Heat-Tracing Division. This event marked an important step in Tyco Thermal Controls' strategy to increase sales and presence in Asia by providing new distribution channels, as well as a manufacturing facility in Korea.
