Mission Bio Partners with S2 Genomics to Offer Robust Solid Tumor Sample Prep for Single-Cell DNA Analysis
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Bio, Inc., the pioneer in high-throughput single-cell DNA and multi-omics analysis, today announced a co-marketing partnership with S2 Genomics, Inc., a leading developer of laboratory automation solutions for processing solid tissues for single-cell applications, to offer a single streamlined workflow for solid tumor applications from sample prep through analysis. The automated nuclei extraction-and-analysis workflow has been validated by the laboratory of Christine A. Iacobuzio-Donahue, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), who shared her findings last week at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.
- Single-cell DNA analysis has transformed cancer research, supporting high-resolution insights into tumor heterogeneity that have led to a series of high-profile publications on disease mechanisms.
- But challenges are greater for solid tumor profiling, where existing prep workflows often fail to produce sufficient cells or nuclei to provide meaningful results.
- "We are eager to partner with leading companies to address key challenges to sample prep in solid tumor research," said Yan Zhang, PhD, CEO of Mission Bio.
- S2 Genomics, founded in 2016, is a leading developer of laboratory automation solutions for processing solid tissues for single-cell applications.
