Envisioning a way to move NGS from the research lab bench to a medical facility, providing critical information faster
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic research. Using the NGS platforms of today, we can now sequence an entire human genome in a single day through the testing of millions of fragments of DNA all happening in parallel. The data from these platforms is then mapped to existing human references to provide accurate data and insight into DNA variations and mutations.
KMC Systems sees a way to move NGS from the research lab bench to a hospital, emergency room, or patient-setting, providing critical information to providers and patients faster, with more information at hand to determine the best course of treatment.
With over 40 years of experience in sample preparation automation, fluidics, and complex assay design, KMC is at the forefront of NGS innovation and ready to partner with you to meet your market need.
Aside from its human healthcare use, NGS can also be leveraged across industries, including the agricultural field. Agriculture and crop science are under growing pressure as feeding the global population, ensuring food security in an ever-changing climate, and working to reduce our environmental footprint become larger challenges. Development of a high-throughput testing and analytics NGS-type device may help transform the industry.
