OGT expands NGS operations with new facility

OGT, a leading global provider of genomic research and diagnostic solutions, has announced the opening of state-of-the-art facilities within the Oxford Technology Park. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the facilities will drive development of OGT’s trusted SureSeq next generation sequencing (NGS) product portfolio, as well as deliver expert-led training and enhanced opportunities for collaboration.

"This is an exciting time of growth and development for us. As a leader in genomics research and diagnostics solutions, we are thrilled to celebrate the opening of our advanced facility in the heart of the Oxford Innovation Quarter," said Adrian Smith, CEO of OGT. "From here, we can accelerate our next phase of product development and global expansion – providing our customers with greater access to leading-class products and tailored solutions backed by extensive collaboration and support."

As part of the enhanced services at the new facility, customers will benefit from face-to-face support with OGT's field application specialists within the new show laboratory.

Designed in collaboration with recognised cancer experts, OGT’s SureSeq NGS panels offer unparalleled coverage completeness and uniformity, allowing accurate detection of key genetic aberrations in a wide range of haematological and solid tumour cancers.
