10x Genomics Adds Global Clinical Research Organizations to Expanded Certified Service Provider Network

PLEASANTON, Calif., Jan. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 10x Genomics (Nasdaq: TXG), a life sciences leader focused on mastering biology to advance human health, today announced the expansion of its 10x Certified Service Provider (CSP) Network to include three leading clinical research organizations (CROs). The organizations will partner with 10x Genomics to support global biopharmaceutical companies seeking to leverage 10x Genomics' robust single-cell and spatial technologies to power new therapeutic discoveries and accelerate drug development. The three organizations selected for the 10x Genomics program are Q² Solutions, Azenta Life Sciences, and CellCarta. 

"10x Genomics' single-cell and spatial technologies are trusted by leading biotechs and the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies to provide actionable insights at every stage of drug discovery and development," said Brad Crutchfield, chief commercial officer of 10x Genomics. "Our biopharmaceutical customers recognize the significant impact and value of single-cell and spatial analysis and have asked for more support incorporating multiomics into their large-scale, correlative studies and clinical trials. We are excited to partner with Q² Solutions, Azenta Life Sciences, and CellCarta. We are confident their workflow expertise, proven track record with large-scale clinical trials, and global sample acquisition and management capabilities will meaningfully benefit our pharmaceutical customers around the world." 

Incorporating single-cell and spatial capabilities into large-scale clinical research studies can help biopharmaceutical companies predict resistance to therapies in cancer patients, analyze end-point molecular readouts in cancer trials, understand correlative immunological responses to drug therapies, or examine the molecular mechanisms behind vaccine-elicited cell-mediated immunity, among other applications. 

The 10x Genomics CRO Program requires a rigorous evaluation of each applicant's capabilities, comprehensive training and a yearly recertification to ensure designated partners meet and maintain a high standard of performance and service excellence. All three global CRO partners bring their own unique expertise to the program:
