OGT marks start of full CytoCell IVDR transition with launch of prenatal FISH probe kits

Having long offered a comprehensive IVDD portfolio, we have now committed to transition the full CytoCell® IVDD portfolio to IVDR by the 31 December 2028 deadline, as well as a broad range of non-IVDD probes.

The transition programme begins with two IVDR-certified CytoCell prenatal FISH probe kits designed to support rapid, standardised prenatal workflows.

Happy birthday Sir Edwin Southern!

In June we celebrated the 88th birthday of our founder, Sir Edwin Southern.

Revolutionising molecular biology with the development of the Southern blot, Sir Edwin chose to make this technique freely accessible to the global scientific community, accelerating its growth across the field.

Later, Sir Edwin pioneered the microarray technology. This advancement led to his founding of our company, OGT, where microarrays remain central to our genomics portfolio.

Today, OGT continues to build on his legacy through integrated genomic solutions spanning microarrays, FISH and NGS, supporting laboratories worldwide.

We are proud to be part of a remarkable legacy that continues to shape molecular biology and genomics.
