Delaware Governor Jack Markell visits DeNovix Inc

Delaware Governor Jack Markell, Delaware Cabinet Secretary Alan Levin, and DelawareBio’s Bob Dayton recently dropped in on DeNovix Inc. where they learnt about the company’s products for the life science marketplace.

During a tour around the premises, Governor Markell met with company leadership, scientists, engineering and manufacturing personnel. He was also educated on how researchers use the company’s products in labs and even ran a sample measurement himself on the company’s flagship product, the DS-11 Spectrophotometer. 

The visit concluded with discussions about how the state of Delaware might assist DeNovix in its efforts to grow and bring additional high-tech jobs to the state. 

The company’s DS-11 spectrophotometer is used in genomic and proteomic research laboratories worldwide. The device rapidly quantifies 0.5 – 1.0 microliter  samples of nucleic acids and proteins and is said to be the first spectrophotometer that includes a custom Android™ operating system rather than a PC.

“We are glad to be in Delaware and plan to be here a long time,” said Fred Kielhorn, Managing Director of DeNovix Inc.  “The state has a fantastic network of resources that make it an ideal place for a company like DeNovix to thrive.  We’re really glad that Governor Markell met with us to understand our business a little better.”
