Genomic Nanosystems is a digital PCR device manufacturer for disease
surveillance. GNS has developed DigitalDrops and Nanoplates to count
nucleic acids.

Applications. The applications for GNS technology include:

  • Mutant sequences counting in a background of similar sequences
    as needed for cancer surveillance


  • Gene counting in non-invasive surveillance for fetal genetic
    abnormalities in a mother's blood.  

  • Clonal amplification of nucleic acids for sequencing, digital gene
    expression analyses and digital DNA methylation analyses

  • Counting pathogens in surveillance for infections and sepsis

  • Counting signature nucleic acids such as for bacteria in food or
    water,  environmental monitoring and detection of pathogens in
    case of a deliberate biological attack
