AgriPlex Genomics and MolGen have opened a joint lab in Europe. The new lab based in Veenendaal, the Netherlands, will offer faster turn-around times to their European customers, according to the companies. European plant and animal breeders will benefit from a combination of AgriPlex’s targeted genotyping-by-sequencing custom library preparation and analysis and MolGen’s DNA extraction and automation technologies at the new lab.
George Yang, CEO AgriPlex: “We are committed to investing in Europe to meet the growing demands for AgriPlex products and services.”
AgriPlex Europe lab will offer genotyping service and technical support to their PlexSeq™ customized PCR amplification and library preparation customers. With the added capabilities of MolGen, both the Cleveland, OH (USA) and Veenendaal (NL) labs will be able to bring in-house automated DNA extraction and additional automation to further strengthen the AgriPlex workflow. This streamlined workflow solution will serve end-users in the agrigenomics industry, including plant and animal breeders as well as other types of high-throughput genomics labs globally.
