Vision and mission

Our vision

Menarini Silicon Biosystems wants to become the indisputable leader in non-invasive cell-based applications for easier, faster, and more precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches

Our Mission

Menarini Silicon Biosystems is committed to providing clinicians, pharma companies and researchers worldwide, with unparalleled cell-based products and services for advanced diagnostic solutions, through an improved understanding of rare cells and their molecular characterization

About us

Our highest priority is to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to human health by enabling, thanks to our established CELLSEARCH and DEPArray technologies, the detection and analysis of important but rare cells.

Recognized by leading centers of excellence as the industry standard for delivering 100% pure cells, our DEPArray™ image-based cell-sorting and isolation technology en­ables clinical researchers to conduct molecular analyses with single-cell precision, opening the door to actionable insights toward understanding each tumor’s genetic profile.

In 2017 Menarini Silicon Biosystems purchased all the assets and relevant business related to the CELLSEARCH® Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) System. The integration of CELLSEARCH and DEPArray provides an end-to-end workflow solution for the enumeration, isolation, and molecular characterization of CTCs from a simple blood test in the clinical research setting.

The acquisition of CELLSEARCH represented a major milestone that reinforced the company’s strategic direction toward being a leading provider of diagnostic products and services aimed at informing the most optimal therapeutic decisions for patients with cancer.

Menarini Silicon Biosystems, based in Bologna, Italy, and Huntingdon Valley, Pa., U.S., is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, a multinational pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics company headquartered in Florence, Italy, with more than 17,000 employees in 140 countries.
