Boreal Genomics is a venture-backed Vancouver company committed to the development and commercialization of high performance methods and instruments for bio-molecule purification, enrichment, and detection.
The company was founded in 2007 by leading researchers in the field of nucleic acid analysis methods from the University of British Columbia. With close connections to UBC, Genome BC, as well as a strong network within the San Francisco Bay Area, Boreal has built a top-notch team, composed of outstanding young recruits, mixed with seasoned entrepreneurs and advisors. Boreal prototype instruments have been field tested, demonstrating success at DNA extraction from previously intractable sample types ranging from tar sands to archived plant tissue.
Boreal’s Synchronous Coefficient of Drag Alteration (SCODA) is a proprietary and novel nucleic acid concentration and extraction technology that excels in applications where other techniques fail by offering unique advantages including: exceptional contaminant rejection, an unparalleled ability to enrich low abundance nucleic acids, and ability to enrich for specific DNA/RNA sequences. Boreal aims to leverage these advantages to provide uniquely powerful DNA extraction technology to customers in life science research, forensics, bio-defense, and clinical applications.
