Our Capabilities

Our Capabilities
Quality Control Sample quality is critical to the success of any sequencing project. At CRID’s Genomics Hub, we use state-of-the-art equipment to assess the integrity and purity of all DNA and RNA samples before sequencing. This ensures high-quality data and minimizes the risk of sample failure. Our QC platforms include: Agilent TapeStation 4150 – for fragment analysis and sizing Qubit Fluorometers – for accurate q...
