ILLUMINA AND MIXED APPLICATIONS

SINGLE CELL GENOMICS

Reading the genetic information of each cell and how it's transcribed allows us to: analyze tissues and organisms at unprecedented resolution, achieve major advances in understanding disease processes, and develop therapeutics. We are a 10X Genomics certified service provider.

​

GENOME SEQUENCING

Our laboratory includes the latest sequencers from Illumina, MGI, Pacific Biosciences, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, and Life Technologies. All sequencers are supported by process automation. Most of the current commonly employed Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) assay protocols have been introduced into the production pipelines including DNAseq, RNAseq,  WGS, Amplicon Sequencing, and Long-read technologies.
