Bionano Genomics, Inc. offers whole genome analysis tools to better understand the genome and its structure. Its high-throughput system Saphyr builds de novo maps of the genome by massively parallel imaging of the longest single DNA molecules in the industry. Bionano genome mapping provides comprehensive structural variation (SV) calls, identifying all types of SVs with sensitivities that far exceed those based on next-generation sequencing. When combined with orthogonal sequencing data, Bionano maps can provide the correct structure, order, and orientation to assemble reference-quality genomes.

A meticulously designed optical detection platform enables unprecedented sensitivity, detecting nucleic acids into the lower femtogram range.
RevoluGen is a UK-based, biotech company. The two lead products it has developed are called Fire Monkey and Fire Flower.
Fire Monkey is a High Molecular Weight (HMW) – DNA Nucleic Acid Isolation and Purification (NAIP) kit. It is spin-column based and protocols result in bacterial or mammalian DNA extracts with fragment mass averages of 100kb or above within one hour. In addition, Fire Monkey extracts are of high purity and yield as well as lacking a great amount of smaller DNA fragments that would be extracted with other spin-column kits. This intrinsic size-exclusion aspect of the Fire Monkey extraction process means that Fire Monkey DNA can produce sequencing results with N50s of ~50kb for standard long-read sequencing protocols.
​
Fire Flower is a 10 minutes size selection spin-column based process that greatly reduces the number of DNA fragments shorter than 10kb long, thereby raising the average DNA fragment length in the sample whilst still being compatible with all extraction and sequencing techniques.
These, patent protected and externally validated, products are just becoming available commercially directly from RevoluGen and eventually through major distribution channels.

Samplix has developed a novel targeted DNA enrichment technology called PINS suitable for long read as well as short read sequencing.
The PINS enrichment technology is based on physical separation of long DNA fragments into millions of picoliter droplets. The droplets containing the target DNA are identified using ddPCR, physically sorted and the target DNA fragments are then amplified using multiple displacement amplification. Applications include: De-novo sequencing, highly variable and partially unknown sequences, large structural variations, phasing of mutations, repeat regions, GC-rich regions, and samples in limited amount.
