Laboratory Services

Different types of commercial services are available for busy laboratories that either do not have the time or specialized equipment available for particular tasks. Almost every assay, test, procedure or analysis can be outsourced to experienced professional service companies which can be flexible on price and turnaround time depending on volume. Protein sequencing, cell culture, antibody purification, genotyping, oligonucleotide synthesis, and instrument maintenance and repair are just a few examples of the numerous applications available at production facilities. Look for companies with quality controlled, GLP-compliant processes. Convenient features include technical support availability, web-based ordering and publication-ready data retrieval, bar-coded order tracking, confidentiality, quick data analysis and fast turnaround time.

Types of Laboratory Services

• Sequencing - Services that use next generation, or high-throughput, sequencing technologies offer valuable access to increasingly common molecular applications, such as RNA-seq, whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, single cell sequencing and others. These sequencing services use robust sequencing platforms and are proficient in library preparation and analyzing read outputs.
• Molecular Biology - Molecular biology service providers enable customized applications in a variety of genetic applications, including the unique gene synthesis, gene editing, cloning, mutagenesis, genotyping analysis, custom oligo synthesis, and PCR-related projects. Such services are ideal for busy laboratories or clinics that wish to save time and or lack the technical tools or expertise.
• Antibody Production - Producing antibodies for research or developing antibody-based pharmaceuticals involves multiple steps that require rigorous technical expertise. Antibody production and development services include antigen design, animal immunization, hybridoma generation, protein purification and antibody screening.
• Protein Analysis - Specialized services are available that can speed up or complete necessary applications in biochemistry and protein analysis. Examples include custom peptide synthesis, HPLC analysis, protein production, large-scale proteomic analysis, and more.
• Cell Biology - Cell-based tasks are broad in scope, ranging from cell culture to imaging and analysis. Cell biology services are equally diverse and provide valuable expertise in a number of applications. Among these are services for cell-based assays, high-throughput screening, cell line development, authentication and immunohistochemistry.
• Drug Development - Services can help simplify the lenghty and involved process of drug discovery and development. Providers offer valuable access to the experience, expertise, and instrumentation needed to develop processes such as in vivo testing, screening assays, virus production, drug formulation, and manufacturing.
