MGI Tech opens customer experience center in Brazil to help advance genomics in Latin America
The laboratory has cutting-edge technology to support clinical laboratories and medical institutions in medical research and improve accurate diagnosis and treatment.The agricultural sector will also benefit
SAO PAULO, April 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MGI Tech Co. Ltd. (MGI), a Brazilian company dedicated to building core life sciences tools and technologies that advance genomics in Latin America, Customer Experience Center (CEC).
Brazil's medical efforts
The goal is to educate clinical laboratories, laboratories, hospitals, and universities about gene sequencing techniques that have applications in precision medicine, oncology, agrigenomics (the application of genomes in agriculture), and metagenomics (the collection of animal genomes). and to provide facilities to enhance the experience. segments such as environmental microbial communities).
“Genomic research is growing rapidly in the region. As demand for next-generation sequencing tests in cancer diagnosis and genetic screening increases, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and universities need faster sample processing speeds. We must rely on the support of the Institute to improve our capabilities with affordable solutions and high data quality,” said Carlos Carpio, Senior Commercial Director of MGI LATAM and General Manager of MGI Brazil. says.
“Our Customer Experience Center will make a significant contribution to scientific development in the region by reducing sequencing costs, expanding clinical applications, and thereby making accurate diagnosis and treatment more accessible to people. will be able to do so,” he added.
The institute will also serve as Brazil's MGI hub, enabling expansion throughout Latin America. This demonstrates his MGI's enduring commitment to expanding access to global genomics in the region. MGI has been operating in Latin America since 2019 and has already partnered with many customers, including Fundação Oswald Cruz (Fiocruz) in Brazil, Biogenar in Argentina, Gencell in Colombia, Genos in Mexico, and TCL Group in Chile. There is.
In Brazil, MGI's technology is also supporting Brazil's largest genome sequencing project. The project aims to sequence the complete genomes of thousands of patients with rare diseases and hereditary cancers and search for genetic markers to track inherited diseases for early diagnosis. . Dr. João Bosco de Oliveira Filho, Genome Project Coordinator, highlighted MGI's technology and said, “I had a great experience working with the MGI team.The technology is solid and the quality of the data is excellent.'' , support is available when you need it.'' Importance of CEC launch: “Researchers and diagnostic laboratories need to stay informed of available technology to advance their research and testing. Placement is very important.”
Cutting-edge technology offered in our labs
MGI operates in 100 countries and has nine other customer experience centers around the world. The Brazil Center, located in Brooklyn Paulista, São Paulo, will provide a demonstration venue for clinical laboratories, universities and hospitals to enhance education and experience with the company's technology. Highly skilled professionals lead certification training sessions, demonstrations, evaluations, and support for local new applications.
The 270 square meter CEC consists of four different areas: NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Lab, Automation Lab, BIT Lab, and Engineering Lab.
MGI's sequencing experience includes the high-throughput sequencer DNBSEQ-T7, the high-speed sequencer DNBSEQ-G99, the rugged and flexible DNBSEQ-G400, and the portable and easy-to-use sequencer DNBSEQ-E25*.
In the automated laboratory, the company has access to state-of-the-art technology such as sample preparation systems MGISP-100 and MGISP-960, high- and low-throughput automated nucleic acid extraction instruments MGISP-384 and MGISP-NE32, and automated sample transfer and processing systems MGISTP. Offers. -7000.
We also have bioinformatics products such as ZTRON Pro, a data processing platform and storage, and MegaBOLT, a series of bioinformatics analysis accelerators.
Researchers and other professionals can experience the range of end-to-end MGI solutions at CEC São Paulo, which is fully equipped to carry out genomics research protocols.
CEC São Paulo is located on Avenida das Nações Unidas, 11633 – 15 Floor – Brooklyn – São Paulo. For more information: MGI-BRASIL@MGI-TECH.COM.
