Eurofins MWG Operon Standardizes Worldwide DNA Sequencing Operations on Geospiza’s GeneSifter LIMS
Drive to Expand Services and Standardize Operations Determines Platform Choice
SEATTLE & EBERSBERG, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Eurofins MWG Operon and Geospiza announced today that Eurofins has expanded their use of Geospiza’s GeneSifter® Lab Edition LIMS platform to manage all DNA sequencing operations in the U.S., Germany, India, and Japan.
GeneSifter’s web-based architecture, intuitive programming interfaces, ease of use and established LIMS history makes the system ideally suited for standardizing global laboratory operations.
Martin Kunz, Chief Technology Officer at Eurofins MWG Operon states, “The GeneSifter platform was the best in class LIMS solution to meet our global operating needs. We successfully completed our U.S. implementation with Geospiza ahead of schedule and on budget. Geospiza’s team made it clear that our success at Eurofins was their priority.”
“We are thrilled Eurofins MWG Operon selected GeneSifter Lab Edition to run their global DNA sequencing operations,” said Rob Arnold, President of Geospiza. “We’ve worked hard to make sure our platform is easy to install, operate and can integrate with other in house systems. Eurofins has impressively illustrated this by incorporating GeneSifter into their existing web site in order to provide users with a seamless experience.”
“Early on, it was clear to us that Geospiza’s deep knowledge of both Sanger and Next Gen sequencing laboratory operations was going to be a huge advantage over other LIMS suppliers,” said Bruno Poddevin, Senior Vice President Genomics Services. “The Geospiza team understood both our near term and long term objectives for building out our global DNA sequencing business. To my knowledge no other company has such depth across these areas of technology.”
