The next three centers are scheduled to open in Southeast Asia, Central America, and Europe, all within 12 months. “We are very excited to finally provide our customers with a one-stop shop from DNA extraction, sample preparation, next-generation sequencing, post sequencing, and advanced bioinformatics analysis,” says Michael Tippie, vp of business development for Eureka Genomics.
For the first four months of 2009, Eureka Genomics reports receiving over $500,000 in orders for its next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics services. The firm forecasts over $3 million in sales over the next year.
