NGS-based Workflow Full Service


We offer a Full Service option for the standard applications listed below using validated library prep methods. We have an average turnaround time of about 4 weeks after the samples pass QC. If your sample doesn't reach the sample requirements of our standard protocols, we can suggest other protocols and we can continue with the experiment via our custom service mode or user lab mode.
You can find how to access our User Lab HERE
