31 October 2011 -- Source BioScience (LSE: SBS), the international diagnostics and genetic analysis business, has extended the reach of its super fast DNA sequencing and data analysis service in the UK with the launch of its Overnight Service in Oxford, effective from 1 November 2011.
The Overnight Service will now be available to research teams in and around Oxford, with customers receiving their sequencing results by 9am the next day, including Saturdays, at no extra cost.
The DNA sequencing and data analysis service has been operational since June, when it was launched in London, Cambridge and the Midlands and most recently in Berlin, Germany. The service targets the life sciences research sector with the offer of free sample collection and super fast delivery of results, combining Source BioScience’s world class sequencing capabilities with its unique SpeedREAD™ automated data delivery system.
Dr Nick Ash, CEO at Source BioScience, commented: “Our Overnight Service continues to set new standards in sequencing services and can play a major part in reducing downtime in research projects by delivering results in a timely fashion. We are delighted to extend the service to our Oxford customers.”
He added, “The Overnight Service is already having a very positive impact on our business, with a significant increase in sequencing volumes since its launch in June 2011. We look forward to broadening the reach of this service in due course, enabling more customers to access the benefits of overnight sequencing, and we will be providing an update on this part of our business at the Q3 results next month.”
