Promega Corporation, a leading life sciences company, and
One
Lambda, Inc, a leading producer of transplant diagnostic
products, will co-market the Promega
Maxwell® 16 DNA extraction
system with One Lambda LABType® SSO and Micro SSP™ tests in the
HLA market. The combined effort offers clinicians a new option
to improve assay accuracy and productivity.
Starting with the American Society for Histocompatability and
Immunology (ASHI) show, both companies will be highlighting
their complementary technology. Moving forward, the companies
will provide integrated programs to clinicians and lab managers
who are seeking new options to enhance laboratory productivity.
“Using the Maxwell 16 system helps ensure consistent, reliable
results for One Lambda assays, eliminating problems associated
with poor sample preparation,” says Dr. Jar-How Lee, One Lambda
Vice President of Research and Development. “Suboptimal sample
extraction can lead to time-consuming rework and system failure,
which slow results, decrease productivity and potentially
compromise overall accuracy of the tests.”
The Maxwell 16 System enhances laboratory workflow by
automatically extracting DNA from blood, buffy coat or buccal
swabs in 30 to 40 minutes. Once extraction is complete, the One
Lambda LABType® SSO uses Luminex® xMAP® technology to perform a
multiplex analysis on the DNA. Typing results are used in
transplantation to match donated tissues to recipients. The
analysis dramatically reduces labor, reagents,
reaction-to-reaction inconsistency, and assay time when compared
with manual methods. Research and customer experience
demonstrate that the DNA extracted using Maxwell is of excellent
concentration, purity and yield for optimal results from One
Lambda LABType® and Micro SSP™ tests.
“We are pleased One Lambda, a leader in transplant diagnostics,
has selected Maxwell as its preferred DNA purification tool,”
says Promega Marketing Vice President Andy Bertera. “Using these
tools together provides clinicians increased performance and,
perhaps, a little more peace of mind.”
