IMGM's service portfolio covers standard applications such as targeted resequencing, whole genome sequencing, de-novo sequencing or metagenomics. In addition, pre-designed gene panels (e.g. Ion AmpliSeq™ Comprehensive Cancer Panel, Ion AmpliSeq™ Inherited Disease Panel) are available to detect known and new mutations in research studies using standard or Formalin-fixed and Paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material.
"One of our real strengths is to develop custom content for targeted resequencing applications" said Ralph Oehlmann, Director Business Development at IMGM. "Customers can hand us a list of genes and we will run it through the IMGM Assay Development Pipeline or use the Ion AmpliSeq Designer Platform to create the perfect primer set for their application. This taken together with a high degree of flexibility, cost-effectiveness and short turn-around-times offered by the Ion Torrent platform, allows our customers to take the fast track to excellent next-generation sequencing data for their project."
"We're very pleased to welcome IMGM Laboratories GmbH to the growing Ion family as an Ion Torrent Authorized Customer Service Provider," said Maneesh Jain, vice president of Marketing and Business Development at Life Technologies.
Investment in Ion Torrent’s semiconductor sequencing technology is yet another example for IMGM’s commitment to innovation and the willingness to offer their customers the best services based on latest technologies.
