    U.S. Genomics has pioneered commercial applications of single molecule DNA, RNA and protein analysis. The company’s innovative technologies address high value unmet needs in bio-security, human diagnostics, and food and drug contaminant monitoring. Addressable segments of these markets where the company’s technology offers compelling advantage approach $4.0 billion.

    U.S. Genomics’ core genomic mapping technologies are capable of identifying and quantitating individual molecules of DNA, RNA and proteins from a complex sample. Large fragments of genomic DNA are extracted from complex samples utilizing a proprietary sample preparation technology. Universal reagent sets are used, and no target amplification or culture is required. DNA detection using these technologies provides genomic species and strain identification, while quantitation of RNAs and proteins can be used to track expression, all within a highly mutiplexable assay format.
