System


At Macrogen, we are committed to delivering high-quality genomic services through a suite of cutting-edge sequencing platforms. Our capabilities span across all research scales — from large population studies to small pilot projects — supported by strong partnerships with global technology leaders such as Illumina, PacBio, Thermo Fisher Scientific and 10X Genomics..

We carefully select and operate the most trusted next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms to ensure reliability, speed, and data quality. Whether you’re working on whole genome analysis, transcriptomics, metagenomics, epigenetics, or targeted sequencing, our systems are configured to meet a broad range of project needs.


Only the most advanced, state-of-the-art technologies have been carefully selected by Macrogen to facilitate large studies, whilst taking care to provide smaller-scale investigations. Partnered with NGS-tech leaders from Illumina, Pacific Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 10X Genomics, Bionano Genomics and many others, Macrogen primarily focuses on providing total genomic solutions tailored to client’s specific needs.
