Examples of how our work makes a difference
A healthier, cleaner, safer world
HEALTHIER
Detecting Rare Inherited Diseases
The Saudi Genome Program (SGP), a national research endeavor to study the genetic basis of all disease in the Kingdom is using our Ion AmpliSeq™ Community Panels as part of a nationwide program to detect rare inherited diseases.
Better Transplant Outcomes
Patients in Europe who have had a heart, lung or kidney transplant can now look forward to a better outcome because our Transplant Diagnostics team received European regulatory clearance for its One Lambda C1q assay.
Improving Breast Cancer Diagnostics
Our DNA sequencing products help unlock the genetic code behind breast cancer with the discovery of the genetic mutation XRCC2, potentially improving breast cancer diagnostics and adding years to the lives of those with the disease.
CLEANER
Predicting the Impact of Climate Change
Our Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry team is helping the British Antarctic Survey, a leading environmental research center, monitor weather patterns to predict future climate changes and their global impact on the environment.
Improving Air Quality
We provide our air quality monitoring technologies to the China Government to drive environmental compliance, reduce emission, and help the country meet tighter restrictions on air pollution.
Ensuring Clean Drinking Water
Our ICS-4000 provides customers with sensitive detection of a wide variety of contaminants and toxic substances in drinking water to keep the supply safe.
SAFER
Safer Blood Supplies
We recently installed our 1,000th blood-banking centrifuge in India to separate whole blood into life-saving components and to help meet the country’s need for a safe blood supply.
Radiation Detection
Following the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, our handheld radiation detectors helped emergency response personnel assess risks and monitor exposure levels. These detection technologies are now guarding nuclear facilities and people in security applications screening for radioactive materials.
E.coli Screening
Our whole genome sequencing technology was used to develop a qPCR assay to screen food samples for the deadly E. coli bacteria.
Identification of Illegal Drugs
Our TruScan device is being used to help identify and seize counterfeit pharmaceuticals being sold as authentic drugs to the unsuspecting public.
Ensuring Justice
Our complete, validated workflow systems are accepted as the global industry standard for forensic casework samples, establishing convicted offender and population databases and parentage testing.
