Customers laud the positive impact of AVITI on advancing their scientific research

SAN DIEGO, May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Element Biosciences, Inc., developer of pioneering technologies to empower science, will showcase the rapidly growing use of its AVITI™ System sequencer across the European scientific community at the European Human Genetics Conference 2024 in Berlin, Germany, on June 1.  

During ESHG 2024, which runs from June 1-4, Element Biosciences’ Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Michael Previte will share the latest details on the AVITI24™, the first platform to combine state-of-the-art sequencing and multiomic cell analysis in one integrated biology tool.  The AVITI24 enables the simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes, including DNA, RNA, proteins, phosphorylated proteins, and morphology, in up to one million cells per flow cell.

“At ESHG, we’re excited to show the transformative power of AVITI and highlight how we’re advancing our mission to increase access to high-quality, affordable tools for complex biological research through AVITI24,” said Previte.

The AVITI System is expanding access to faster, more efficient and innovative sequencing for European scientific labs, with Element’s technologies now being used by researchers in most countries in Europe. With its AVITI24 open for preorders, Element also announced that existing customers are prebooking ahead of shipment, including the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) at SciLifeLab, a world-leading Swedish national center for large-scale research and one of the largest molecular biology research infrastructures in Europe.

“As part of the National Genomics Infrastructure, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of technology,” said Robert Månsson Welinder, Head of Strategic Relations at NGI. “Element’s AVITI24 will help us push this frontier and allow our scientific community to pursue new and exciting science.”

Leading European scientists emphasized the positive impact the AVITI has had on advancing their scientific research. Igor Fijalkowski, researcher at the Center for Medical Genetics at Ghent University in Belgium, noted the ease of adoption and flexibility of the platform saying “Over the last year or so we performed more than 100 runs of AVITI sequencing and overall, across multiple applications, the sequencing quality has been excellent. The transition was frictionless, so we are very happy with the way the sequencer has been performing.”

Several other researchers noted the cost-effectiveness, high quality, and flexibility of the AVITI platform. “Since the installation of our AVITI we have been blown away by its flexibility and quality outputs,” said Megan Hamilton, Genomics Facility Manager at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Petri Auvinen, Research Director at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Finland, said “AVITI seems to be the most efficient and most legitimate system to run a new chemistry for sequencing.”

Others called out the unique features of the AVITI not available on other platforms. “The cost-effectiveness of AVITI adds to its high sequencing quality of Q40-50, which makes it an important device in the future of cancer research,” said Romain Boidot, molecular biologist at the Georges-François Leclerc Center, France. Also in France, Charles Poncet, lab manager at INRAE, said “We chose AVITI for its combination of performance, price of the instrument and reagents, flexibility, and applications. We also had the chance to test AVITI with our wheat samples and the results were excellent, especially for an organism with such complex genetics.”

Two years after launching AVITI, the sequencer that provides the highest quality sequencing on a benchtop, Element has continued to innovate on its modular platform. It has introduced faster run times, expanded kit offerings, the Elembio Cloud software platform, and industry-leading affordability, while maintaining unprecedented accuracy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) is proud to announce the launch of the GUSI Fellowships Platform, an innovative online platform designed to empower learners around the world to achieve confidence and competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a holistic, device-independent approach that includes comprehensive evidence-based education, personalized mentorship from world-class POCUS educators, detailed scan review feedback, quantitative assessments, and CME certification, GUSI is setting a new standard in POCUS education.

“GUSI’s online didactics are the best that I have seen. And what I like most about the fellowship were the 1:1 sessions and being able to interact with GUSI expert faculty who have many years of experience in POCUS. And you get to pick their brains and they get to instruct you 1:1. I have used the training I received from GUSI to do much more POCUS clinically and further impact my patients lives.”

Dr. James Wilcox,
Assistant POCUS Director, Indiana University School of Medicine
Adjunct Professor and Assistant Professor of Medicine

“Our mission at GUSI is to democratize access to high-quality ultrasound training,” said Dr. Kevin Bergman and Dr. Mena Ramos, Co-CEOs of Global Ultrasound Institute. “The GUSI Fellowships Platform enables learners from diverse backgrounds to enhance their skills in a supportive, flexible environment, making it easier than ever to reach their POCUS goals.”

With training options covering 38 different scan types, learners can expect personalized 1:1 mentorship with expert POCUS educators who provide timely feedback on practice scans.

“The GUSI fellowship mentors are the best: patient, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain and in my home/office environment not requiring multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented – learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.”

Dr. Glenda Patterson
Core Faculty, University of Arkansas Northwest Internal Medicine Residency
Physician, Veterans Health Care of the Ozarks
Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine

The GUSI Fellowships Platform features a scalable software system designed to monitor and track performance, ensuring learners can effectively measure their progress.

GUSI understands the challenges faced by healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their ultrasound skills amid demanding schedules. GUSI addresses these concerns with flexible scheduling options, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while balancing their professional and personal commitments. This adaptability and virtual experience is crucial for fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development.

“I went from not being able to hold the probe to someone who can scan and diagnosing and finding pathologies. I worked with Dr. Milne-Price and she was amazing! She sharpened my skills and we did sessions of live scanning over Zoom. I feel confident in my skills now to scan on my own.”

Dr. Dalea Al-Hawarri
Faculty, Bryn Mawr Family Medicine Residency

As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for proficient ultrasound practitioners has never been greater. GUSI is not only committed to providing exceptional education but also aims to inspire a new generation of healthcare professionals who can leverage POCUS to improve patient outcomes globally. Join us in this exciting journey towards excellence in ultrasound practice.
