Among Canon BioMedical's life science projects is a genetic testing platform based on ultra-fast serial PCR and high-resolution melt analysis.

Digital PCR has the potential to supplant quantitative real-time PCR as the assay technology of choice for certain applications, particularly the detection and absolute quantification of low-level DNA targets in oncology and HIV research, industry stakeholders and early users sai
The first version of the sequencer, about to enter beta-testing, will cost around $250,000 and will be able to generate several gigabases of data in a 5.5-hour run with $250 in consumables costs per gigabase. That price is expected to fall to as little as $2 with later generations.
The web-based CollabRx One program, which will charge cancer patients between $50,000 and $100,000 to generate genetically-targeted treatment options, compares 15,000 genes against tumor samples to gauge how they respond to as many as 5,000 drugs.
