Archer is a biotechnology research entity based in Boulder, Colorado, operating as part of Integrated DNA Technologies. Since IDT acquired Archer in December 2022, the combined portfolio includes next-generation sequencing research assays powered by Anchored Multiplex PCR technology that support investigation of cancer fusions. The integration broadened IDT’s operations and extended Archer’s legacy reach, adding more than 100 associates worldwide. Its work serves laboratories and researchers in oncology and genomics, helping them identify biomarkers and characterize somatic alterations. In March 2026, Archer introduced FUSIONPlex-HT Dx and VARIANTPlex-HT Dx for in vitro diagnostic applications, and in June 2026 IDT announced a collaboration with Illumina to enable a DRAGEN-based secondary analysis pipeline for FFPE and cfDNA NGS workflows.
