Bionano Genomics announces third OEM partner received China NMPA approval

Bionano Genomics announced that its Chinese OEM partner, Ecobono, has obtained reagent Class I registration from China’s NMPA for Bionano’s DNA isolation products. Ecobono is Bionano’s third Chinese OEM partner to obtain approval from NMPA for Bionano’s OGM solutions. NMPA issued an approval to Ecobono for Bionano’s SP-G2 DNA isolation kit. Ecobono received an IVD Class I label, enabling the reagents to be used for IVD in China. Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano, commented, “We want to congratulate Ecobono, our third OEM partner to receive NMPA approval for our reagents. This approval is an important first step as Ecobono advances its registration strategy for Bionano products. We believe the expansion of NMPA approvals can help make OGM available for research into reproductive health in China, an important market for both Bionano and Ecobono.”
