PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of people and the environment, announced a strategic alliance with Integromics, S.L., a leading supplier of omics data analysis solutions, to become the sole worldwide distributor of Integromics’ software for the TIBCO Spotfire data visualization platform. In addition, PerkinElmer and Integromics announced the release of OmicsOffice 5.0, developed by Integromics. The new OmicsOffice software will be exclusively available from PerkinElmer under the agreement.

OmicsOffice allows users of TIBCO Spotfire to handle, process, analyze and properly visualize diverse genomics data. The software provides scientists with a rich and flexible set of statistical and functional analysis tools specifically for the study and cross-validation of microarray, next generation sequencing and qPCR data on a single platform, and allows them to extract relevant and reliable biological conclusions from genomic data. Using OmicsOffice, genomics scientists can significantly improve the quality of their results, as they respond to scalability and integration challenges in this rapidly evolving field.

Michael Stapleton, general manager, PerkinElmer Informatics said, “We are delighted that PerkinElmer will take on distribution of the new OmicsOffice product. It represents a true synergy with our mission to offer end-to-end informatics solutions throughout the research, discovery and manufacturing processes. As the exclusive worldwide distributor of OmicsOffice, we can provide focused solutions to the genomics and next generation sequencing community to improve the quality of their work and gain critical insights faster than before.”

“PerkinElmer is the perfect partner for Integromics, particularly for OmicsOffice,” said Víctor Canivell, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Integromics. “PerkinElmer’s leadership in technologies for scientific discovery and its commitment to advanced analysis tools, provides us with an excellent opportunity to bring the power of OmicsOffice to genomic researchers, as well as to accelerate the release of new omics analysis tools.”

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits.
