Bio-Techne Corporation has announced a significant enhancement to its agreement with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, broadening Bio-Techne's ability to develop a portfolio of genetic products on Oxford Nanopore Technologies platforms and extending the collaboration.
Building upon the successful launch of the AmplideX Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit in March 2025, the enhanced collaboration streamlines coordination on the development and commercialisation of a broader portfolio of targeted enrichment sequencing kits for the screening and diagnosis of heritable genetic disorders. The collaboration between the two firms has also been extended until 2032.
"This expanded agreement underscores our commitment to advancing genetic testing solutions that simplify workflows and deliver richer insights for laboratories worldwide," said Matt McManus, President of the Diagnostics and Spatial Biology Segment of Bio-Techne. "By deepening our collaboration with Oxford Nanopore, we are accelerating innovation in diagnostics and creating a foundation for future portfolios."
"We're pleased to expand our collaboration with Bio-Techne to bring new genetic testing solutions to laboratories worldwide. By combining Bio-Techne's diagnostics expertise and innovations with our advanced molecular sensing platform, together we can make testing faster, simpler, and more accessible," said Rosemary Dokos, Chief Product and Marketing Officer of Oxford Nanopore Technologies.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies has developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology that is currently used for information-rich, rapid, accessible and affordable DNA and RNA analysis. The platform is also being developed for the analysis of proteins and metabolites. The technology is being used in more than 125 countries to understand the biology of humans, plants, animals, bacteria, viruses and environments, as well as a range of diseases including cancer.
