Services
Clinical Diagnostics
We develop reference materials and quality control solutions for clinical laboratories. Our Seraseq products enable precise detection of inherited cancer mutations through next-generation sequencing. These tools support CAP/CLIA compliance while reducing workflow complexity and costs. Our solutions cover oncology, prenatal testing, and infectious disease diagnostics.
Genomic Services
We provide targeted genotyping-by-sequencing solutions for agricultural research. Our GBS technology combines NGS depth with rapid end-point genotyping capabilities. This enables breeders to accelerate genetic selection for improved crop yields and disease resistance. We also offer DNA purification tools and scalable assay design services.
Reference Standards
We manufacture certified reference materials for environmental and pharmaceutical testing. Our PFAS standards support regulatory compliance under EU/US frameworks. The AXIO proficiency testing schemes help laboratories validate analytical methods across water, food, and clinical sample types.
Nucleic Acid Therapeutics
We specialise in oligonucleotide and mRNA-based therapeutic development. Our services cover lead optimisation through commercial manufacturing under cGMP conditions. We support antisense therapy research for ultra-rare diseases like Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood.
Proficiency Testing
We operate global proficiency testing schemes for analytical laboratories. Our AXIO programs assess testing accuracy across environmental, clinical, and food safety sectors. Participants receive independent evaluations to identify performance gaps and improve result reliability.
