Cambrian Bioworks announced that it has been granted a patent for its "Method of Enriching High-Molecular-Weight DNA."

The newly patented method strengthens Cambrian’s IP portfolio and underscores the company’s commitment to advancing genomic sample preparation. This innovation enables more efficient recovery of high-integrity, high-molecular-weight DNA, critical for advanced genomic applications.

The reagent formulation is specifically tailored for long-read sequencing applications, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), structural variant analysis, agrigenomics, and telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies. Its magnetic bead–based enrichment method ensures that the workflow is fully automatable, an advantage particularly valuable for large-scale population cohort studies.

“Securing this patent is an important step forward in how we approach genomics,” said Vaibhav Hegde, CEO of Cambrian Bioworks. “It reflects our focus on solving real workflow challenges in the lab with technologies that make high-quality data generation more accessible and repeatable.”

This development follows the commercial success of CamSelect NGS, Cambrian’s flagship solution for short-read library preparation, which has become a trusted choice among clinical and research genomics labs.

“With CamSelect NGS, we demonstrated that robust chemistry can make genomics workflows both precise and scalable,” added Rohit Asil, Co-founder of Cambrian Bioworks. “This patent builds on that foundation, extending our capabilities into long-read sequencing and reinforcing our commitment to practical innovation that translates directly into lab performance.”
