te. The user simply adds their samples to the cassettes, loads the cassettes into the system, presses play, and walks away. The initial focus for ProGenTech has been on developing automated solutions for Systems Biology life science applications. This new relationship with Human Genetic Signatures marks the formal launch of ProGenTech's Applied Sciences business which will take products and solutions into the Molecular Diagnostics, Forensics and Immunoassay market segments.

The Human Genetic Signatures' proprietary 3base(TM) technology employs a powerful base modification technique that greatly simplifies the detection of highly variant microorganisms. Easily adaptable to routine assay preparation and amplification methodologies, 3base(TM) can reduce the need for prohibitive multiplexing or cumbersome array-based alternatives. Whilst 3base(TM) can be used for the detection of any microbial target, it is even more useful for detecting pathogens with multiple subtypes or rapidly changing resistance traits. This partnership marks Human Genetic Signatures' entry into the commercial clinical diagnostics market.
