Sequencing platforms
Trusted technology and proven performance empower scientists to explore further, with confidence. View benchtop and production-scale sequencers, compare features, and learn how to choose the right next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform for your needs.

Sample Prep

Sage Science products are built on the idea that science is more robust and reliable when it is based on high-precision, automated, reproducible technology instead of manually intensive steps that introduce variability and error.Sage Science look at molecular biology workflows and identify high-value steps that can be significantly improved with accurate, automated solutions. The products not only reduce hands-on time and boost throughput, but they also improve data quality and downstream results.The Sage Science portfolio includes products to perform DNA or cDNA sizing and protein fractionation.
