Customer and solutions overview

Plant breeding for the future

Jason Nichols of Syngenta’s Molecular Analytics group, highlights how Thermo Fisher’s Axiom and Eureka platforms are instrumental in enabling cost-effective, scalable, and customizable low- to medium-density genotyping.

SNP arrays for improvement of oil palm breeding

Dr. Pek-Lan Chan of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board talks about oil palm and industry challenges. She explains how the Axiom oil palm genotyping array is used as an application to face those challenges and improve oil palm breeding. 

Overcoming forestation challenges

ArborGen leverages the Axiom genotyping platform to rapidly and cost-effectively screen forest-tree seedlings like sugar pine and loblolly pine for key traits like disease resistance and growth potential years before they mature to help accelerate breeding, adapt to climate change, support forestry production and forest conservation.
