- Technological Innovation: Bio-Techne's next-generation Leo™ System combines dual-channel fluorescence detection with chemiluminescence, significantly enhancing data throughput and efficiency, enabling researchers to simultaneously quantify targets with distinct expression levels, thus advancing the study of complex biological questions.
- Increased Experimental Flexibility: The new system's fluorescence capability adds a fourth multiplexing option to molecular weight separation, RePlex, and resampling, allowing for the processing of up to 100 capillaries in a single run, greatly improving experimental flexibility and efficiency.
- High Precision Results: The Leo system's high-throughput capabilities achieve highly precise results with only 5-6% variability, setting a new standard for clinical research that requires absolute quantitation, thereby meeting critical demands in the field.
- Market Impact: With over $1.2 billion in net sales for fiscal 2025, the launch of the Leo system is expected to further enhance Bio-Techne's competitiveness in the life sciences tools market, facilitating accelerated critical discoveries and streamlined development timelines.
