Our Laboratory Automation group provides a fast, accurate and reliable service for customized Mouse Genotyping. Since its launch in 2011, we have continuously optimized and further streamlined our PCR-based process by incorporating the use of robotic liquid handling workstations. Our well-established service allows our clients to submit tail biopsies and primers and receive the genotyping results in form of agarose gel images in return. The use of laboratory automation enables us to process a large sample volume in a short period of time and to offer highly competitive pricing.
