Genetics Research, LLC (“GR”), a privately-held company developing a portfolio of novel and proprietary CRISPR-associated technologies for targeted DNA enrichment, announced today that it has licensed certain of its patents relating to this technology to Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Ltd. (“Oxford Nanopore”) based in Oxford, United Kingdom. This license enables Oxford Nanopore to use GR patents […]
Total RNA is comprised of large amounts of undesired transcripts, such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which account for ~80-98 % of the total RNA sample, and globin mRNA, accounting for ~35-80 % of mRNA in blood samples. Therefore, RNA sample preparation for sequencings requires stringent rRNA and (for blood samples) globin depletion. The upgraded version […]
The new AutoGen vortex module upgrade enables a 35% improvement in throughput Holliston, MA: AutoGen Inc. is excited to announce the launch of the vortex module upgrade to their portfolio of FlexSTAR workflows. FlexSTAR workflows are fully automated instruments for isolating genomic DNA from large volumes of whole blood, buffy coats, saliva, cultured cells, and […]
New Cas9 Sequencing Kit provides reagents for one-stop targeted sequencing, enabling scientists to cost-effectively sequence previously inaccessible target regions. Cas9 targeted sequencing with nanopore enables fast, simple, flexible target enrichment of long regions of interest – read lengths of over 100 kb have been observed to date. The approach is amplification-free, opening up regions of the genome previously […]
The SMRTbell gDNA Sample Amplification Kit enables whole genome amplification starting from as little as 5 ng of genomic DNA. It’s one of the questions we hear most often from scientists working with small organisms: Is it possible to generate truly high-quality, long-read data from minuscule amounts of DNA? With our new kit for ultra-low […]
Patent strengthens company’s intellectual property protection and expands portfolio FARMINGTON, Conn.— Shoreline Biome, a microbiome research company that develops tools for characterizing microbiome populations down to the strain level, today announced that the company was recently awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the “Combined Lysis Protocol for Comprehensive Cell […]
S2 Genomics, Inc., today announced that it has entered into distribution agreements with SCRUM, PharmiGene, LnCBio, Thunderbio Science, and TrendBio for the promotion, sales, and support of S2’s Singulator™ 100 System and associated products for single-cell genomics and cell biology applications in the Asia-Pacific region. The distribution agreements cover Japan (SCRUM), South Korea (LnCBio and […]
BillionToOne’s unique testing protocol removes costly, time-consuming step of RNA extraction and significantly expands testing capacity MENLO PARK, Calif.–Today, BillionToOne, Inc., the precision diagnostics company, received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for their groundbreaking SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test which eliminates the costly and time-consuming step of RNA extraction. As opposed to most other molecular […]
Madison, WI USA. Laboratories testing for COVID-19 have a new tool that enables them to skip the potentially bottlenecked RNA extraction step of the workflow and move directly to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Promega Corporation today released XpressAmp™ Direct Amplification Reagents that facilitate RNA extraction-free sample preparation that is automation-friendly. The simple, direct amplification workflow involves: Collect and […]
