Our Mission: Let Every Single Cell Tell Its Story
About Us
BioSkryb has ushered in a whole new era of single-cell whole genome amplification. The benefits of the BioSkryb ResolveDNA® technology include the ability to control the amplicon size during amplification. Our complete workflow solution is especially useful in cancer research, as it allows the detection of single resistant mutant cells in heterogeneous cancers such as leukemia. It also enables new applications for gene sequencing that need a level of resolution simply not available today.
