OGM – Hamilton & Tecan (WHO?) In June 202
Post# of 71

In June 2022, Hamilton Bonaduz AG and Bionano Genomics jointly unveiled the Long String VANTAGE workstation—the first fully walk-away automation solution for isolating ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) DNA specifically for OGM.
This turnkey platform marries Hamilton’s precision liquid-handling with Bionano’s Prep SP chemistry to streamline the critical first step in optical mapping.
This OEM partnership locks in a critical sample-prep piece for Bionano’s OGM pipelines while giving Hamilton a unique genomics-automation offering—so it’s a true win-win on workflow integration.
As Bionano rolls out Stratys Plus consumables and targets higher-throughput customers, they’ll want turnkey “OGM-ready” modules. Tecan’s already laid the groundwork; during H2 2024 you may see a true plug-and-play demo or even an OEM-branded kit.
