Bionano Genomics Bionano Prep SP Tissue and Tumor Kit

Bionano Genomics has launched the Bionano Prep SP Tissue and Tumor Kit, a DNA isolation kit for the analysis of tumors and tissues with the company's Saphyr system. The kit is designed to simplify the isolation of ultra-high molecular weight DNA from a variety of solid tumors and tissue types. DNA can be extracted in less than six hours from as little as 5 mg of fresh or frozen tissue. It was validated in bladder, lung, liver, kidney, colon, breast, prostate, brain, thyroid, ovary, testes, and uterus tissue.
