We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, and built a global logistics network that moves samples from scientists’ hands to our labs in hours, not weeks. Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery.

Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research.
