ASHG 2026: Bionano previewing automated first step of OGM workflow (upstream of chip load) to industrialize prep.
Booth
#810. Meet-the-Expert w/ Alexander Hoischen (Radboudumc) Thu 3:30–4:30. Stratys/Saphyr/VIA on floor.
Hoischen’s group already published OGM in heme, constitutional & large repeats; prior work showed automated UHMW isolation (Hamilton) preserves length + cuts hands-on time. Front-end automation is the remaining bottleneck for higher-volume labs.
Demand already outpaces flow-cell supply. Routine sites drive consumable pull-through. Live 81195 ($1,853.22) + 81354, MolDX proposed LCD open, NYSDOH at Rochester + MSK. Walk-away prep lets the same installed base run more samples without linear headcount.
Utilization compounds on boxes already in the field.
