Rubicon Genomics has announced that it has signed a supply agreement with Kreatech Diagnostics for use of Rubicon’s Omniplex-D whole genome amplification technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, Rubicon will provide proprietary reagents which will incorporate elements of its Omniplex amplification technology to Kreatech for use in the manufacture of Kreatech’s Poseidon fluorescence in situ hybridization probes.
James Koziarz, CEO of Rubicon, commented, “Collaborating with a diverse group of industry leaders is a key part of Rubicon's strategy, and we are very pleased to be working with Kreatech, which offers the broadest commercial portfolio of high quality FISH probes available today."
Herman Volkers, CEO of Kreatech, said, “Use of Rubicon's proprietary pre-analytical amplification reagents during the production process contributes to achievement of this superior performance; therefore we are pleased to conclude this renewed supply agreement with Rubicon Genomics.”

Measuring Lavender Essential Oil’s Effect on Cancerous Tumors with GC-MS
January 15th 2025A recent study aimed to investigate the impact of lavender essential oil (LEO) and of its terpenic components on the properties of glioblastoma (GBM) cells in an in vitro model. The study demonstrated that LEO induces a proliferation slowdown and an impairment of cell migration of GBM cells besides reducing oxidative stress.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
