Consistent with BD's acquisition strategy, the acquisition would expand BD's presence into the emerging affordable personal flow cytometer space. It would also help expand the use of flow technology by researchers in developing regions where ease of use is critical, as well as by researchers in scientific disciplines that have not traditionally used flow cytometry, such as environmental studies.

OriGene Technologies, Inc. has recently achieved a significant milestone in its quest for developing an assay for every human protein through the release of 1,500 mouse monoclonal antibodies under the TrueMAB brand. Each TrueMAB antibody is specifically developed with full-length human proteins produced in HEK293T cells and validated for critical research and diagnostic needs requiring improved antibody sensitivity and specificity. Greater than 50% of all TrueMAB antibodies are validated for immunohistochemistry and for flow cytomtery applications.

Monoclonal antibodies have become invaluable tools for researchers developing diagnostic tests and novel therapeutics.  In 2010, OriGene announced its commitment to build the world's largest monoclonal antibody facility capable of producing over 20,000 TrueMAB antibodies per year. Recently, OriGene has released its 1,500th monoclonal antibody and hybridoma cell line under the TrueMAB brand name.
