CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thermo Fisher Scientific today announced it has signed an agreement with Cynvenio Biosystems Inc., a molecular testing company focused on the genomic analysis of tumor biomarkers in the bloodstream, for rights to distribute its LiquidBiopsy platform.
The addition of Cynvenio’s rare cell enrichment technology complements Thermo Fisher’s Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) workflow and positions the company as the only one in the industry to offer a comprehensive sample-to-genomic data solution for research using a single blood draw for analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTC), cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and normal DNA in less than 48 hours. The workflow enables researchers to conduct highly multiplexed analyses on serially collected blood samples.
