Prepaire Labs Strengthens Genomic Sequencing Capabilities through Strategic Collaboration with MGI

Advancing Personalized Medicine: Prepaire Labs and MGI Join Forces to Enhance Genomic Sequencing and Drug Discovery

MASDAR CITY, ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, February 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a significant stride towards enhancing its disease modeling and drug discovery platforms, Prepaire Labs is pleased to announce the collaboration with MGI, a company committed to building core tools and technology to lead life science. This collaboration signifies another milestone in Prepaire Labs’ commitment to integrating the latest technology within precision medicine, following its recent partnership announcement with United Imaging.

Prepaire Labs will be integrating MGI’s DNBSEQ-T20x2 sequencing platform, renowned for its comprehensive capabilities in supporting sequencing scenarios such as WGS, stLFR, single-cell sequencing, and more. This acquisition positions Prepaire Labs at the forefront of genomic research in the GCC, marking it as one of the region’s pioneers in adopting such advanced sequencing technology.

The collaboration with MGI is set against the backdrop of Prepaire Labs’ initiative to build a new semi-autonomous BSL3 Lab in the UAE, aimed at enhancing lab-as-a-service (LAAS) offerings. The DNBSEQ- T20x2 sequencing platform will empower Prepaire Labs to offer scalable genome sequencing programs, crucial for the Biotune platform’s affordable and personalized healthcare solutions.

Prepaire Labs and MGI will focus on:

• Developing assays for whole genome sequencing.

• Creating a 100% automated smart laboratory.

• Innovating sequencing methods for complex genome analysis.

• Co-marketing to enhance scientific collaboration.

Carl Freer, founder of Prepaire Labs, commented, “Our collaboration with MGI is a testament to our mission of bringing advanced genomic sequencing closer to clinical applications. Together, we are building on our recent advancements to further empower researchers and healthcare providers.”

“We are thrilled to work with Prepaire Labs to harness DNBSEQ-T20x2 ’s ultra-high throughput and great cost-efficiency for understanding and treating diseases at a personalized level,” said Roy Tan, General Manager of MGI Asia Pacific. “This partnership is a testament to our commitment to expand global access to genomics through cutting-edge and high-quality platforms.”
