Genomic Vision Launches HexaCard, a New Service for Characterizing Transformed Cell Lines

Regulatory News:

Genomic Vision (FR0011799907 – GV, – the “Company”), a Euronext-listed biotechnology company that develops products and services for the highly accurate characterization of DNA sequences, is pleased to announce the launch of its new service, HexaCard.

HexaCard is an application of Genomic Vision's proprietary Molecular Combing Technology (MCT) that offers precise visualization and measurement of individual DNA molecules. HexaCard aims to consolidate multiple technologies used in assessing engineered genome modifications, offering a streamlined, one-stop-shop solution for the cell and gene therapy (CGT), and biomanufacturing industries. By combining six analytical parameters into a single assay, Genomic Vision's HexaCard service offers a range of advantages in bioproduction and CGT applications.

The six analytical parameters assessed by HexaCard encompass crucial aspects of cell line characterization. These parameters include determining copy number, assessing orientation, identifying integration sites, evaluating genetic integrity in the target region, analyzing on/off target insertions, and establishing a genetic signature for stability assessment. This comprehensive analysis ensures the selection of the most suitable clones, enhancing productivity and stability while reducing turnaround time and costs.

With HexaCard, researchers and biomanufacturers can confidently optimize their processes, make informed decisions, and mitigate the risks associated with non-competent cell line development. By enabling the identification of transgene stability, clonality and providing a unique genetic ID card for each clone or batch, HexaCard ensures the accuracy of the entire production pipeline.

This state-of-the-art service addresses the unmet need to accurately characterize genetic construct of transformed cell, the prevalent issues of misidentified cell lines and cellular cross-contamination. This technology, coupled with the Company’s AI-based analysis software, FiberSmart, generates comprehensive data and insights that facilitates quantitative decision-making capabilities. HexaCard forms part of Genomic Visions’ broader suite of complementary tools to safely accelerate development time, reduce cost of bioproduction & cell and gene therapies.
