CLC bio offers free 6-months licenses for CLC Genomics Workbench to owners of Ion Torrent, 454 GS Junior, and MiSeq

AARHUS, Denmark–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, CLC bio announced the offer of one 6-months license of CLC bio’s premier desktop software package, CLC Genomics Workbench, to researchers and organizations who have purchased one of these sequencing instruments: Ion Torrent PGM from Life Technologies, 454 GS Junior from Roche, or Illumina’s upcoming MiSeq. The licenses will be for a fully functional version and support as well as all software upgrades during the half year period are included.

Just a moment ago a sequencing run used to take days or weeks, but this flurry of smaller new benchtop sequencers reduced the turnaround times to just hours. That, along with a lower initial investment, has meant a remarkable increase in the types and numbers of organizations that are entering the sequencing space” says Director of Global Sales at CLC bio, Michel Seidelin, PhD, and continues, “Many of the organizations with these new sequencers currently lack the in-house resources to adequately address their next bottleneck: How to analyze the sequencing data? This is where we would like to help with this offer as a 6-months license will give you ample time to get your new instrument up and running and you can thoroughly test whether CLC Genomics Workbench is the ideal software package for your analysis needs! We hope a lot of scientists will give our software a serious spin!

Organizations and researchers, who would like to apply for a free 6-month license, can simply fill in the form at www.benchtopseq.com
