Promega Corporation

At Promega Corporation, creativity and connection drive discovery and innovation.

We celebrate scientific discovery and the creative application of science to solve problems. Interactions with our customers, partners and vendors are central to everything we do, and we value those relationships. We seek out and build connections because creative problem solving requires networks of diverse ideas and viewpoints.

From simple cloning vectors used to address fundamental questions in biology to bioluminescent assays that help us monitor food safety and water quality, we work side-by-side with our partners in academic, industrial and government institutions to bring the best minds to bear on the toughest questions.

Since 1978, we have done this all with a steadfast commitment to sustainable business models that protect our environment, inspire and develop our employees as individuals, support the wellbeing and growth of our communities, and strengthen our relationships with our customers.

How do researchers extract meaningful molecular data from tumor samples stored in pathology archives for years — or even decades?

Two new cancer biology studies show it in practice. One team used FFPE tumor samples to map druggable mutations in poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Another identified a myeloid cell population that suppresses CAR-T therapy in B cell lymphoma. Both studies depended on consistent, reliable RNA extraction from FFPE tissue using the Maxwell® RSC RNA FFPE Kit.
