Bionano Announces Software Marketing Agreement with Revvity for Newborn Sequencing Research

Bionano has entered into a software marketing agreement with Revvity, Inc. (Revvity) under which Revvity will market and commercialize Bionano’s VIA™ software to Revvity’s next generation sequencing (NGS) customers as part of its newborn sequencing research workflow

VIA is expected to enhance Revvity’s newborn sequencing solution by adding an assessment of copy number variation (CNV) to the NGS solution report and streamlining the workflow’s interpretation capabilities

SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO), today announced that it has entered into a software marketing agreement with Revvity, Inc. (NYSE: RVTY) under which Revvity will market and commercialize Bionano’s VIA™ software as part their newborn sequencing research workflow. VIA is expected to enhance the comprehensive reporting capabilities of Revvity’s sequencing solution by adding an assessment of CNVs to its NGS workflow and streamlining the workflow’s interpretation capabilities.

Revvity’s end-to-end workflow includes DNA extraction of dried blood spot samples, sample quality control and quantification, automated library preparation, sequencing, using systems from Element Biosciences or Illumina, a hybridization-based NGS panel designed to identify variants in over 390 genes that are relevant for newborn sequencing research, cloud-based data management, and analysis with VIA software.

Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano, said, “Bionano is focused on transforming the way the world sees the genome and our VIA software is not only a powerful tool for optical genome mapping visualization, interpretation and reporting, but is also widely used for applications in NGS. We are thrilled to be supporting Revvity in enabling the adoption of next generation sequencing solutions in newborn sequencing research applications around the world."
