About Omixon

Omixon is a global transplantation diagnostic company with a mission to provide histocompatibility laboratories with innovative technologies to improve transplant outcomes. Omixon is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, with operations in the United States, Brazil and the Netherlands serving more than 60 laboratories worldwide.

Building on multidisciplinary competences in bioinformatics, software engineering, molecular biology and regulatory science, Omixon transforms molecular biology innovations into state-of-the-art products in transplant diagnostics.

Omixon was the first to successfully introduce NGS-based HLA typing kit and software in 2014 by bringing Holotype HLA, an NGS-based HLA genotyping product, and HLA Twin software to market. Omixon Twin delivers the most accurate high-resolution HLA genotyping and is used in more than 60+ laboratories worldwide.

Omixon was the first to release a high-resolution HLA genotyping product NanoTYPE HLA™ with less than 5 hours turnaround time on the Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform complemented by NanoTYPER™ analysis software.

Omixon is the first to bring to market the first donor-derived cell-free DNA kit HoloGRAFT for laboratories with donor-informative genetic markers with primer and probe sequences that are absent in the patient genotype by design.

Our Expertise

Our Executive Team have spent more than a decade leading Software, NGS and genomics companies. Our Research and Development Team have a mixture of experience in all aspects of molecular diagnostics, with experts in software development, bioinformatics and genomics. Professor Dimitri Monos who serves as Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board was one of the pioneers of NGS for HLA, and the inventor of the Holotype. Our major collaborators and key opinion leaders in the HLA community have provided the highest level of leadership within the community for several decades and Omixon has evolved into a global molecular diagnostics company that currently focuses on driving the adoption of NGS in the clinic with Holotype HLA, an NGS-based HLA genotyping Assay and Software product.
