美国RainDance Technologies
RainDance Technologies公司是利用高通量微液滴技术（RainStorm™技术）为人类健康和生命科学研究提供科研仪器和试剂的高科技公司。通过该公司 的核心技术可在短时间内生成数百万个皮升（pL）级体积的微液滴（每个微液滴都相当于一个微小的试管可进行独立的PCR反应）使数百万个PCR反应得以同 时进行。通过这样的技术方法和仪器设备使研究人员能够通过一个PCR反应同时对20，000个基因组上的位点进行扩增实现序列捕获和检测分析。利用微液滴 技术科研人员可完成基因组目标区域重测序（Targeted Re-sequencing）、基因筛选（candidate gene screen）、全基因组关联研究（Genome Wide Association Studies,GWAS）、异质性肿瘤样本的深度测序（deep sequencing of heterogeneous tumor samples）、医学遗传学、分型、产前诊断和甲基化研究等科学研究工作。

RainDance Technologies is a fast-growing, privately-held company pioneering the use of microdroplet-based analysis in human health and life science research.

The company's core RainStorm™ technology generates millions of discrete droplets that can encapsulate a single molecule, single cell or reaction and be digitally analyzed and sorted one at a time. The complete RainDance solution includes automated instrumentation, customizable bioinformatics and high-value consumables and reagents for applications including targeted next-generation DNA sequencing, and methylation, digital PCR and single cell analysis.

RainDance's pipeline of development programs includes applications for its proprietary microdroplet-based technology in Digital PCR, Droplet-based ELISA and Single Cell Analysis.

RainDance was founded by scientists from Harvard University, The Medical Research Centre in Cambridge, England, and the ESPCI in Paris. The company's leadership and advisory teams are comprised of life science industry veterans, leading venture capitalists and world-renowned scientists, including three Nobel Prize laureates.

Based in Lexington, Massachusetts, the company supports scientists around the world through its international sales and support operations and a global network of distributors and service providers.
