Quality Performance
Quality Performance
- Available as cGMP controls and manufactured under an ISO 13485 quality system
- Validated targets and concentrations determined using metrological, traceable standards
- Highly standardized, quality-controlled manufacturing ensures reliability and consistency
Molecular Assay Reagents
Our molecular assay reagents assist in various capacities, including sample transport, sample stability, and product development.
- TSM III is a buffered solution ideally suited for the dilution of Armored products. The additives provide stability to the protein-coated nucleic acid through multiple freeze-thaw cycles when stored properly, allowing for more flexible and scalable testing processes.
- RNARetain® is intended for the collection, storage, and transportation of fresh tissue specimens for subsequent RNA isolation and further molecular diagnostic testing. The collection of fresh tissue specimens into the RNARetain device eliminates the need to immediately process these specimens, enabling RNA extraction and molecular testing at a later time and/or transport to a different location.
Molecular Diagnostic OEM Services
With a cGMP manufacturing facility governed by our ISO 13485 certified quality system, we can provide customized target Armored RNA and Armored DNA as well as custom multiplexed panels. Extensive quality control measures support products derived from any step of the manufacturing process, including plasmid DNA (circular or linearized) and in vitro transcribed RNA. Custom targets are available in three different grades: evaluation, development, and cGMP.

Tumor Bank
A unique tumor bank of >100,000 clinical specimens.
The specimens span over 100 discrete cancer types across all major classes including melanoma, ovarian, breast, colon, and non-small-cell lung cancers. Our specimens are formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, the majority of which are coupled with full histologic and demographic information.
