Our Successes
Working with us
We offer different next generation sequencing (NGS) service packages. The services and benefits described below apply to the Advanced and Premium packages. Please refer to the individual package descriptions for details on what is included with each offer.
You can send us cell, tissue, or organ samples from which we will extract RNA or DNA (Start from Extraction). You can also choose to send purified nucleic acids (Start from Library Prep). It is possible to do “Sequencing only” projects of your prepared and pooled libraries, any library type is accepted. Each service package can be further customized based on your sample type and project specific requirements. Data Analysis is offered for each of our NGS service packages or as a service on its own (Lexogen Bioinformatics Services). We also offer Custom Bioinformatics Solutions, and have expertise in new pipeline development.
