The International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, is an independent organization that’s fosters collaboration among experts to develop voluntary, consensus-based International Standards. They cover everything from healthcare, to food safety, to new technologies. These standards help make the world safer, cleaner and more efficient. According to ISO, the “International Standards make things work. They give world-class specifications for products, services and systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency.”

To continue to provide you with the highest quality products, we are moving to a new manufacturing and shipping facility effective January 1, 2017. Our new site, located in Maumee Ohio, offers increased manufacturing capabilities in a more modern facility and will ensure that EdgeBio products retain the same high quality that you have come to expect as well as allow us to expand the range of products that we provide. Please note that the new facility in Maumee Ohio is dedicated solely to product manufacturing and shipping.

Mark Twain is purported to have once said “the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated” and the same might be true for the “gold standard” DNA sequencing technology that many refer to as CE or Sanger sequencing.  CE sequencing is experiencing a renaissance, thanks in great part to the technology that was purported to hasten its demise – NGS.  As NGS is employed more extensively across the globe and in more applications, especially in clinical diagnostic applications, the need to verify or confirm the large number of variants generated from whole genome sequencing or whole exome se

On August 16, Edge BioServ LLC, the Services Division of EdgeBio, entered into agreement to be acquired and become part of GeneDx (www.genedx.com), a division of BioReference Laboratories, Inc.

A few weeks ago we received our CLIA certification for next generation sequencing and will offer clinical exome sequencing for large labs and hospitals that can do their own in-house analysis. We will supply aligned sequencing data and leave the interpretation to the customers themselves.
