Applications

Alzheimer's disease research

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects ~5.8 million adults and is the sixth leading cause of death in the US alone. Over 400 AD clinical trials are currently underway, investigating the possibilities of immunotherapy, our microbiome, and inflammation as prospective therapeutic targets. We have a variety of exceptional products that can help your AD research move forward.

Cancer research

Cancer research is constantly evolving and finding new and more effective therapies to battle disease. Explore this section to learn about biomarker discovery, single-cell analysis, genomics and epigenomics, HLA typing, immunotherapy, and gene editing for cancer therapy/drug discovery research.

Immunotherapy research

Immunotherapy uses the patient's immune system to control and destroy cancer cells and holds several key advantages over traditional therapies. Explore this section to learn about adoptive T-cell therapy, bispecific monoclonal antibody therapy, and T-cell receptor profiling, an important tool to guide treatment strategies.

The fast-moving field of molecular diagnostics is constantly entering new horizons as cutting-edge technologies are adopted for new clinical tests. In this challenging environment, you can rely on us to be a trusted partner and provide highly customized solutions to optimize the development of molecular diagnostic assays and clinical testing protocols.

Pathogen detection

Fast, accurate, and sensitive methods for detecting and characterizing viral and microbial pathogens are essential for preventing and controlling outbreaks. Explore this section to learn how to choose the best sample preparation, detection, and analysis methods for your pathogen of interest and see how these methods are being used to combat infectious disease threats.

Reproductive health technologies

Assisted reproductive technologies provide tremendous hope for couples who are trying to start or grow their families. Learn how our gold-standard whole genome amplification technology is powering preimplantation genetic testing, which makes a real difference in reducing the risk of miscarriage and congenital disabilities due to genetic disorders.

Vaccine development

Since the development of the first vaccine over 200 years ago, which led to the eradication of smallpox, vaccines have significantly decreased the burden of infectious diseases worldwide. In recent years, the spread of severe infections has highlighted the critical need for rapid development of vaccines against previously unknown pathogens to deal with pandemics such as COVID-19.
