Promega Corporation and QuantumCyte today announced a strategic joint marketing agreement aimed at enhancing the workflow solutions available to clinical laboratories. The collaboration will focus on the joint promotion of the QuantumCyte QCPRECISE!™ precision tissue enrichment platform alongside manual and automated nucleic acid purification chemistry from Promega. The two companies will present a joint poster highlighting this workflow at the upcoming Association for Molecular Pathology 2024 Annual Meeting, November 19-23 in Vancouver.
“The Maxwell® CSC system complements QuantumCyte’s QCPRECISE!™ tissue enrichment technology to deliver a high-throughput and efficient solution for labs seeking to optimize their workflow efficiency,” says Alok Sharma, Global Clinical Market Director at Promega. “Additionally, the ReliaPrep™ kits cater to labs requiring adaptable solutions for lower throughput or specialized applications.”
“The QCPRECISE!™ Scan Print Extract (SPE) platform increases cellular nucleic acid purity from solid tissue biopsies for downstream multi-omic applications,” says John Butler, Chief Scientific Officer at QuantumCyte. “Through the integration with Maxwell® CSC System and ReliaPrep™ kits, a complete workflow that produces high purity nucleic acid is now available for use in commercial, research and pharma applications.”
The joint marketing initiative will leverage both companies’ expertise to develop materials demonstrating the utility of combining QCPRECISE! with Maxwell® and ReliaPrep™ extraction platforms. Service teams from both companies will also receive product training to support customers leveraging the entire workflow.
Both companies are prepared to answer questions and discuss workflow solutions at AMP 2024. A poster titled “Enhanced MSI Status Determination from FFPE Tissue Sections Using an Integrated Workflow Combining QuantumCyte’s QCPRECISE!™ with Promega’s Maxwell® CSC DNA FFPE Kit” (#ST094) will be presented on Friday, November 22.
