What’s changing

  • 01

    Local capacity

    Certified sites deliver validated workflows closer to the research team.

  • 02

    Consistent protocols

    Every provider runs the same validated protocol set and QC gates.

  • 03

    Guided matching

    The provider finder matches projects to certified capability and turnaround.

A broader path to discovery

The certified provider programme adds trained laboratories across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, giving researchers local access to validated single-cell and bulk RNA-seq services.

The expanded portfolio supports deeper biological insight from multiomics experiments while remaining designed for seamless integration. Researchers can add a new dimension to existing studies without purchasing a separate specialized instrument or abandoning the platforms already used in their laboratories.

Access matters as much as technology. Certified providers extend both.
