Acacia's CombiMatrix unit is its crown jewel, says Manning. It makes customized biochips used, among others things, in detecting bio-warfare agents such as bacillus spores--similar to anthrax.

CombiMatrix has linked up with Roche, a major maker of diagnostic products, to develop genetic-testing tools for major diseases.
