Supporting researchers across the NGS workflow
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) enables comprehensive analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, microbiomes and epigenetic modifications. Successful sequencing projects depend on reliable workflows that take samples from collection through to biological insights.
We supports researchers throughout the NGS workflow with solutions from leading suppliers including Zymo Research, Lexogen and seqWell. While our strongest focus is library preparation, we also offer products and expertise covering sample preservation, nucleic acid extraction, library preparation, sequencing and downstream analysis support. Browse our range below or contact our NGS specialists to get started on your project.
The foundation of any sequencing experiment begins with proper sample collection and preservation. Maintaining nucleic acid integrity during collection and storage is essential to prevent degradation and ensure reliable downstream results. Zymo Research offer DNA/RNA Shield which preserves the genetic integrity and expression profiles of samples at ambient temperatures and completely inactivates infectious agents.
High-quality nucleic acid extraction is critical for generating reproducible sequencing data. This step removes contaminants while isolating DNA or RNA suitable for sequencing applications.
Zymo Research provides a comprehensive portfolio of DNA and RNA purification kits supporting genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome and epigenetics workflows.
Library preparation converts extracted nucleic acids into sequencing-ready libraries through processes such as end repair, adapter ligation and amplification. This stage has a major impact on sequencing quality, throughput and overall project success.
We offer specialist solutions from three leading suppliers.
Zymo Research
Zymo Research specialises in epigenenomic and microbiomic library preparation, including whole genome bisulfite sequencing kits, as well as more targeted methylation preparation kits. Their specialised range of microbiome library preparation kits supports both 16S and ITS metagenomic sequencing, with workflows designed to simplify preparation while maintaining robust sequencing performance.
