Capabilities to support your commercial needs

SNP Genotyping Assay Expertise

SNPs are single-base changes in DNA that give rise to genetic variation. Exploring these variations can help provide insights about:

  • Ancestral typing
  • Health and disease risk factors
  • Carrier conditions
  • Curiosity testing (e.g., hair and eye color, muscle composition, effects of DNA on diet)

We perform SNP genotyping using Illumina HTS Genotyping Arrays. We can also quickly validate a variety of Illumina assays to meet your needs. Samples are processed using state-of-the-art automation and tracked using a custom laboratory information management system (LIMS).

Customization of Your Assay Requirements

We can customize multiple aspects of the assay protocols to meet your specific needs, including:

  • Multiple sample types: Saliva, buccal swabs, flocked swabs, blood, etc.
  • Quantification method options: Spectrophotometric or fluorometric
  • Flexibility in assay choice: Next-generation sequencing, genotyping based on microarray: BeadChip type: GSA, OmniExpress, etc.
  • Passing thresholds: Concentration and call rate

Supporting Our Partners

With our experience in supporting different business needs, we can:

  • Ensure reagent and consumable availability to accommodate seasonal surges
  • Provide savings from bulk purchasing that can be shared with our customers
  • Deliver fast response times for equipment repairs to mitigate turnaround time risk

Through our established partnerships, we can provide branded custom kits and sample collection devices, as well as solutions for ordering and distribution of collection kits directly to customers. In addition to providing optional sample storage for future use of source sample or extracted DNA, we can track all process steps for monitoring, trending and troubleshooting.

The Labcorp Advantage 

Our experienced team of scientists manages all aspects of testing. Our certified automation and R&D teams assist with development of special projects and validation, and results analysts ensure high-quality results prior to raw data transfer. We also offer a dedicated team equipped to handle STAT workflows for high-priority samples. 

Our large accessioning facility can receive 75,000+ samples per day via USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL. Our high-throughput laboratory—including storage facilities for archival and retrieval of stored samples—has processed millions of samples, and we have successfully completed FDA studies for validated assays.

Quality through end-to-end test support 

To help ensure high-quality results, our dedicated results team reviews the quality and integrity of each sample, including gender checks, contamination review, reproducibility of control confirmation and confirmation of duplicate samples. 

From our broad and deep test development to our scalable lab services and efficient, high-volume operational capabilities, Labcorp is here to meet your commercial needs for genetic testing.
