MicroPure Genomics

MicroPure Genomics’ goal is to improve the quality of life by enabling genetic analysis anywhere and by anyone

MicroPure Genomics Inc., an early-stage biotechnology company, is developing a sample preparation instrument capable of preparing ultra-long to short read samples for genomic (DNA and RNA) sequencing using a rapid, novel approach utilizing its proprietary purification technology. The state-of-the-art instrument, known as the μPrep, not only automates end-to-end genomic sample preparation but also reduces the preparation time, the man-power burden, and associated cost.

Technology

MicroPure’s core technology of Electro-Hydrodynamic (EH) Trapping, developed at the University of Florida, selectively purifies and concentrates genomic material within a simple microfluidic channel.

MicroPure leverages their proprietary technology to enable a rapid, bead-less, microfluidic approach to sample preparation. The μPrep utilizes this approach to reliably prepare the more difficult ultra-long DNA in a single cartridge.

Electro-Hydrodynamic Trapping gently and effectively separates genomic material.

Using the µPrep enables unprecedented reliability and length of samples, and consequent sequencing results that will provide insights into the genome that are not currently possible.
