Linkage Biosciences
Linkage Biosciences is a molecular diagnostics company developing and marketing products that dramatically improve and expedite complex genetic testing.
Challenge
How do you fulfill the needs of transplant laboratories and advance the science of transplantation to ultimately improve the lives of thousands of transplant patients worldwide?
Approach
We partnered with Linkage Biosciences to explain to U.S. and E.U. laboratories how LinkSēq technology offers a dramatically simplified workflow for detecting Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes associated with tissue compatibility for organ transplantation. For the more than 70,000 patients waiting for organ transplants in Europe alone, rapid and reliable organ and tissue testing is critical.
Impact
Through a series of strategic corporate announcements and trade media coverage, the uniquely fast setup and turnaround time for complete molecular genotyping results was communicated to laboratories looking to simply workflows, avoid post-amplification contamination, and increase laboratory productivity. The success of the company resulted in it being acquired by ThermoFisher.
For over a decade Linkage has focused on innovation and quality and so we are pleased to be operating according to the highest international standards.
