Insights

Expanded collaboration with Oxford Nanopore extends commercialization rights and partnership through 2032, supporting Bio‑Techne's diagnostics portfolio growth.

Bio‑Techne gains broader commercial rights to develop targeted enrichment sequencing kits on Oxford Nanopore platforms, building on the AmplideX® Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit launched in March 2025. This arrangement formalizes a framework to propose future product portfolios and aligns platform access with Bio‑Techne's diagnostics and spatial biology segment strategy.

Key dependencies include successful development, regulatory clearance where required, and effective commercialization execution with Oxford Nanopore. The extension to 2032 reduces short‑term partner uncertainty but leaves outcomes contingent on product uptake and any regulatory milestones tied to diagnostic use.

Watch for new kit announcements, regulatory filings, and adoption metrics over the next 12–36 months; those milestones will show whether the agreement translates into measurable diagnostics revenue and broader market penetration.

  • Grants Bio-Techne expanded commercial rights to develop a portfolio of genetics products beyond the recently launched AmplideX® Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit
  • Establishes a framework to define and propose future portfolios
  • Extends collaboration through 2032, reinforcing Bio-Techne's diagnostics growth strategy and strengthening relationship with Oxford Nanopore Technologies
