Bioma?trica and ATCC Sign a Licensing Agreement for the Supply of Room Temperature DNA and RNA Stabilization Reagents

Combining capabilities to deliver valuable reagents to research laboratories across the globe without degradation or expensive, time-sensitive shipping materials.

Manassas, VA (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

Bioma?trica®, Inc., a world leader in ambient temperature biological stabilization technologies, and ATCC, the premier global biological materials resource and standards organization, today announce the completion of a licensing agreement. According to the agreement terms, Bioma?trica will supply ATCC with DNAstable® and RNAstable® reagents for the stabilization of DNA and RNA standards.

This partnership leverages the expertise of both organizations. Bioma?trica has pioneered innovations in the ambient storage of biological samples ranging from purified DNA, RNA, and proteins to complex systems such as tissue, cell lines, biopsies, and whole blood. ATCC has assembled the world’s largest and most diverse collection of molecular genomic tools, microorganisms, biological materials, and human, animal, and plant cell lines to serve the scientific community. Together, these organizations afford domestic and international customers access to stable reagents that are not mired by degradation or the additional expenses associated with expedited packaging and shipping.

“We are pleased to partner with ATCC in providing their customers with DNA and RNA standards that can be stored and shipped at ambient temperatures,” said Judy Muller- Cohn, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Bioma?trica. “ATCC provides standards to a wide range of research laboratories in academic institutions. By preparing their standards in an ambient temperature stable format, we can reduce ATCC’s and their customers’ costs for cold chain storage and shipping as well as secure valuable reagents from potential degradation.”

“Bioma?trica’s novel chemical stabilization technology offers significant advantages in costs and performance for ambient temperature reagents and assays,” said Rolf Muller, Ph.D., CSO and co-founder of Biomatrica.

“Since 1925, ATCC has set the standard for providing the largest and most diverse collection of authenticated biological materials, and we remain steadfast in our mission to provide these biological materials for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge,” stated Matthew Klusas, Senior Director, Corporate Development. “This agreement with Bioma?trica will allow ATCC to continue to offer its customers the high quality reagents they have come to expect from ATCC.”

Further, “we look forward to pairing Biomatrica’s novel stabilization technology with ATCC’s catalog of several thousand genuine nucleic acids.”
