Human Genetics
Genomics
A branch of biotechnology applying the techniques of genetics and molecular biology to map and sequence the complete set of genes or genome of an organism. The field focuses on the structure, function, evolution, mapping and even editing of genomes.
qPCR
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is used for various measurements of DNA.
Technology Platform: Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex, with Accufill system.
Samples: Raw sample (Blood, Tissue, Buccal swab, Sputum, etc.), DNA and RNA.
For DNA & RNA sample submission, the following QC requirements are applicable:
Services
- SNP Genotyping (TaqMan-based genotyping assays or TaqMan OpenArray, including standard arrays or custom designs).
- Gene Expression and Profiling.
- miRNA Expression Profiling.
- Real-Time PCR.
- Routine PCR-based panels such as COVID-19, RSV panels, and
STI panels.
Microarray
DNA microarrays are microscope slides that are printed with thousands of tiny spots in defined positions, with each spot containing a known DNA sequence or gene, providing trusted, scalable and efficient workflows.
Technology Platform: Applied Biosystems, GeneTitan MC with Fast Scan.
Samples: Raw samples (Blood, Tissue, Buccal Swab, Sputum, etc.) DNA and RNA (array dependent)
For DNA & RNA sample submission, the following QC requirements are applicable:
Services
All Axiom arrays, examples:
- Pangenomix
- Precision Medicine Diversity Array (PMDA) – Standard or Plus
- PMDA Custom Assays
- PharmacoScan
- CarrierScan
- Biobank Genotyping Array
- Genome-Wide Association Studies,
e.g. SARS-CoV-2 Research Array - Microbiome
Next Generation Sequencing
A high-throughput, parallel sequencing technology used to rapidly determine the order of nucleotides in entire genomes or targeted regions of DNA or RNA.
Technology Platform: Illumina NextSeq 2000
Samples: Raw samples (Blood, Tissue, Buccal swab, Sputum, Stool), DNA, RNA and Library Preparation
For DNA & RNA sample submission, the following QC requirements are applicable:
Services
Whole Genomes Sequencing
(Small to Medium sized)
Whole genome sequencing, sequencing strategy dependent of the genomics size
16S rRNA Microbiome
16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to identify bacteria in mixed sample
18S ITS Microbiome
18S ITS amplicon sequencing to identify fungi in mixed samples
Shotgun Metagenomics
Comprehensively sample all genes in all organisms present in a given complex sample
Whole Exome Sequencing
Sequencing the protein-encoding regions of the human genome
Whole Transcriptome Sequencing
Analysing the entire transcriptome including the coding and noncoding RNAs
Whole Human Genome Sequencing
Sequencing the entire genome of an organism at a specified coverage (10 – 30x)
Library Sequencing
Basic sequencing only
Cancer panels
Amplicon sequencing; existing panels or custom design panels
We deliver FASTQ files to our clients, along with initial data QC which is performed on the cloud-based Dragon server.
Immunology
Food sensitivity tests measure the body’s immune reaction to specific foods, involving immunoglobulin G (IgG), white blood cells, and other immune components reacting to dietary elements. Food sensitivity can cause gastrointestinal issues, inflammation, headaches, bloating, joint pain, and more symptoms. These tests identify problematic foods to help guide an elimination diet overseen by healthcare professionals.
Technology Platform: Omega Diagnostics FoodPrint®
Samples: Serum (microvette tubes or SST Tube)
QC requirements: Unclotted blood sample
Services
- Our FoodPrint® test analyses up to 222 foods for IgG antibodies and is trusted by more than 150 laboratories worldwide.
- Fast track to a guided elimination diet
- Reports are easy to interpret, as the results using “traffic light system” and quantified reactions in IgG/ml.
- We provide a detailed guide to patient food elimination, allowing for more detailed and actionable results for practitioners and their patients. Reports are customisable to our partners.
Metabolomics
The study, identifying, and quantifying of all small molecule metabolites. By testing metabolic profiles, we can gather insights into the metabolic state, biochemical pathways, and regulatory processes within the system.
Platform: Mass spectrometry
Sample: Urine, Dry blood spots (DBS)
QC: N/A
Services:
- Amino Acid Analyses
- Organic Acid Analyses
- Neurotransmitters (Coming soon)

Project Plan
Creation of a custom plan for your aims and objectives
Milestone
Clear stages and deliverables, establishing timelines to manage expectations and data delivery
Our Approach:
- Ensures technical/scientific solutions under strict quality management principles.
- The use of cutting-edge integrated technologies to deliver according to regulatory, development and commercial operations.
- Personal introductory and project meetings can be scheduled where a project plan can be laid out covering stages and outcomes.
Our tailored project process:
An efficient project design must be established, which will lay out the analytics of the study plan. This will include the samples to be submitted, the testing process, and desired outcomes.
Each stage of the project will have established timelines and outputs. For example, once sample extraction is completed, it will be supported by a quality control report of the extracted DNA. This will ensure that the project stays on track and the client stays informed throughout the process.
