Complete Genomics Inc. (Mountain View, California, USA) has announced that it has signed four distributor agreements with Asia-Pacific life sciences companies – GeneWorks Pty Ltd. in Australia, Cyagen Biosciences in China, AR Brown Co. Ltd. in Japan and BML in Korea. The agreements aim to better serve customers in those regions by enhancing service accessibility and convenience.
The companies bring experience in sample acquisition, handling and management, and data analysis and bioinformatics. These arrangements will provide Complete Genomics’ customers with sample preparation assistance at the beginning of the sequencing process and additional data analysis, if required, at the end to maximize the discovery potential of the data.
Dan Floerke, director of Market Development, Asia-Pacific at Complete Genomics, commented, “We are excited to see demand growing for our high-quality sequencing service in the Asia-Pacific region. With the support of our distributors, our goal is to deliver the best possible service to the customers in this region by providing easy access to our whole genome sequencing data and helping to shorten their discovery times.”

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.
