Innovation, Regulation, and Strategic Trends in Molecular Testing & Remnant Sample Research
1. Multi-Omic Testing: Integrating Genomics, Proteomics, and Phenotypic Data
Multi-omic platforms are transforming how clinical labs and research centers approach complex disease diagnostics by integrating data layers across:
Genomics (DNA/NGS)
Transcriptomics (RNA expression)
Proteomics (protein biomarkers)
Metabolomics (metabolic signatures)
Phenotypic data (EHR, clinical outcomes, digital pathology)
Notable developments:
NIH’s All of Us Research Program has released over 1 million multi-omic records (including DNA, RNA, EHRs, and wearable data) to support population-scale disease risk modeling.
OncoMX and Tempus are scaling multi-omic assays in oncology, enabling predictive models for treatment response.
AI tools are now being used to correlate multi-omic markers with rare phenotypes in neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and oncologic diseases.
Clinical remnant samples (e.g., blood, plasma, FFPE) are increasingly used as inputs for multi-omic profiling — eliminating the need for fresh draws or biobank recruitment.
For labs and partners with access to high-quality biospecimens, multi-omic-enabled diagnostics are a growing opportunity in both translational research and companion diagnostics development. Contact EndoLabs for ways to minimize the costs of this type of testing. Info@endogroupllc.com
2. Waters and Becton Dickinson Merge to Accelerate Multiplex Diagnostics & Bioseparations Waters Corporation is set to merge its Bioseparations and Bioanalytical Characterization business with Becton, Dickinson & Company’s Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions division in a reverse Morris Trust transaction, valued at approximately $17.5 billion. This strategic consolidation is poised to:
Double the combined entity’s addressable market to $40 billion, enhancing scale and reach.
Strengthen capabilities in bioseparations, bioanalytical characterization, and advanced multiplex diagnostic assays—domains essential for molecular testing, clinical proteomics, and multi‑omic assay workflows.
Deliver $345 million in annual cost synergies by 2030, boosting operational efficiencies.
Be completed in Q1 2026, with the combined entity projected to realize $6.5 billion in revenue for 2025
3. Clinical Remnants: From Discard to Diagnostic Discovery
Remnant biospecimens (e.g., blood, serum, swabs) are becoming central to assay development, AI modeling, and molecular validation.
✔ IRB-approved programs at Boston Univ LABS Core, Bloodworks, and others
✔ HIPAA-compliant pipelines with EMR linkage
✔ Key for rare disease, oncology, and early-phase diagnostics

Let’s Collaborate
Endo is actively partnering with labs to:
Procure remnant biospecimens
Validate molecular assays under new regulations
Expand multi-omics and phenotypic data research

Fun Fact:
Over 90% of clinical research assays used to validate new molecular tests in the U.S. begin with remnant samples from routine patient testing — meaning that yesterday’s "waste" is often the foundation of tomorrow’s breakthrough diagnostic!
