Base Pair Biotechnologies, Inc. is a small biotechnology research firm based in Pearland, Texas, focused on the rapid discovery of high-quality aptamer ligands with strong affinity for target molecules. Aptamers, which are DNA- and RNA-based ligands, can be used in many applications where antibodies are traditionally employed. The company emphasizes a patented multiplexed approach to identifying aptamers, along with chemical enhancements that improve the performance of DNA ligands. Its customers are researchers and organizations developing diagnostic, therapeutic, or research tools that rely on affinity reagents, including activities in comparative oncology research. Base Pair Biotechnologies occupies a niche in the biotechnology research industry by providing rapid aptamer discovery capabilities as alternatives to antibodies. In late 2017 the company launched ready-to-use buffers to simplify aptamer handling and improve performance.
