The International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) is pleased to announce that the winner of its 2022 Outstanding New Product Award is the Standard BioTools™ (formerly Fluidigm) Biomark™ X.
Earlier this spring an
international judging panel evaluated six products from around the globe on their originality, anticipated impact and value, projected viability of product and market demand. The Standard BioTools™ (formerly Fluidigm) Biomark™ X was chosen as winner
for a variety of reasons including its ease of integration and manageability and technical innovation.
About the Standard BioTools™ (formerly Fluidigm) Biomark™ X
DNA fingerprinting is an invaluable tool employed by biobanks and biorepositories to ensure specimen chain of custody, cell line authentication and sample integrity verification. The
Standard BioTools™ (formerly Fluidigm) Biomark™ X dramatically
simplifies the process of generating single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) signatures for sample ID and QC, profiling 96 genetic loci per sample from up to 96 specimens in a single run.
For biobanking facilities that have other genomic analysis
needs, the all-in-one, versatile Biomark X system supports multiple applications in areas including conservation biology, gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, pharmacogenomics and transplant prognosis. The flexibility and scalability of the
platform enable the development and creation of custom analytical methods, offer multiple test study options and provide the ability to adjust the number of samples and targets as needed.
