Using Illumina's market-leading sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) technology, we can keep costs down while producing publication quality data. We use both high and low output platforms to meet the needs of projects of all sizes.
The single-molecule real-time (SMRT) long read sequencing technology developed by PacBio produces the highest quality sequencing data. Long-reads significantly improve the performance of many downstream applications.
High-resolution analysis of biological material is made possible by microfluidic separation of individual cells or nuclei. We offer transcriptomics, immunological profiling and ATAC seq with the 10x Genomics Chromium platforms.
We generate sequencing libraries tried and tested techniques, tools and materials. Our seasoned and highly-trained sequence production team works industriously to deliver the best outcomes in the shortest possible time.
We evaluate the quality of all samples received and advise collaborators on any issues before proceeding with further work. This enables us to avoid sample drop out and ensures the best possible results.
In order to maximise the performance of samples in subsequent applications, we provide services to enhance the quality of submitted samples that do not meet our specified requirements.
Our expert bioinformaticians and statisticians use the latest tools and methods to deliver professional data integration and analysis, clear reports and publication quality figures.
We use an array of tried-and-true automated liquid handling platforms to drive costs down and accelerate project turnaround. Our team strive to implement effective and efficient automation of widely used sample preparation protocols.
