SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BNGO) today announced the full commercial release of the Stratys™ system, the Company's system for high throughput optical genome mapping (OGM).
As part of an early access program, the following 10 sites have adopted a total of 11 Stratys systems:
Alexander Hoischen, PhD, associate professor of genomic technologies at Radboud University Medical Center, commented, "The data quality for Stratys matches the high standards of the established Saphyr® system, and the newly achieved throughput is amazing. Stratys is the next evolution of OGM, with significantly and impressively improved throughput. This scalability aligns nicely with recently achieved automated lab workflow for DNA isolation and improved automated analysis and reporting through VIA™ software. Smart design also allows higher flexibility and faster processing per sample when compared to the Saphyr system. I am convinced Stratys will enable even more innovative clinical research applications, particularly medium to high throughput analysis, and may even have the potential to enable diagnostic applications in the future. At Radboud University Medical Center, we are excited to stay at the forefront of OGM use for heme-oncology as well as rare disease discoveries."
Bionano's Stratys system for OGM offers increased flexibility and throughput capabilities to address the needs of mid and high-volume users. The throughput of the Stratys instrument is up to four times greater than that of Bionano's Saphyr® instrument, it is compatible with the latest G2 chemistries, and has a potential sample-to-answer time of 3 days for hematological samples interrogated across the whole genome at high sensitivity to rare variants. The system is designed for maximum lab flexibility by enabling up to 12 single sample chips, each with the ability to collect data for a different application, accessible as they complete runs, and without the need to batch multiple samples on a consumable.
The Stratys system is supported by the Stratys™ Compute workstation, which offers accelerated data processing powered by NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). Stratys Compute provides advanced computational technology at the bench with the potential to enable faster and more accurate genome analysis without a requirement to be installed in a data center.
"The Stratys system's intuitive design was created with customer feedback in mind, in order to offer flexibility that can accommodate labs' irregular workflows. Stratys uses the latest imaging and data processing technologies, and it is compatible with all current and planned automated elements in Bionano's comprehensive sample to report workflow. We look forward to seeing how Stratys will transform the way labs approach genome analysis. I want to congratulate everyone who was involved in this exciting product launch," stated Mark Oldakowski, chief operating officer of Bionano.
Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano, commented, "We believe today marks an important day for anyone seeking to implement OGM at scale, with the announcement of commercial availability of Stratys, the first high throughput OGM system, which can shorten time-to-results, reduce hands-on-time and help reveal new actionable insights across research applications including heme malignancies, constitutional genetic disorders and cell and gene therapy. We launched an early access program for our Stratys system in 2023 to great enthusiasm, with orders exceeding our initial offering of 10 systems, many from new OGM adopters. We are excited to see these early access sites partner with us as we extend Stratys adoption across the world."
