GATC Opens 3rd Sequencing Lab

GATC has opened its third European sequencing laboratory, which is located in the Life Science Center in Düsseldorf. Through the new facilities, scientists from Northern Germany and adjacent countries will benefit from the company’s special overnight service first introduced in 2007. This single sample sequencing service reduces delivery times close to half a day from sample collection. The new laboratory is subject to the same stringent quality standards and automation as the laboratories in

GATC Biotech’s headquarters in Constance (Germany). Jochen Schäfer, Director Custom Sequencing at GATC Biotech, commented: “We see a growing need in providing sequencing services with shortest turnaround times, therefore it is essential to be closer to our customers. The Life Science Center Düsseldorf just offers the perfect infrastructure and geographic location.”
