FastTrack Services Lab
FastTrack Services deploys proven technology. We provide microarray and whole-genome sequencing services with high-performance and industry-leading data quality.
FastTrack Services Lab
FastTrack Services offers large scale whole-genome sequencing, enabling researchers to advance genetic discovery.
FastTrack Services Customer Support
Our project management team is the main point of communication with customers. They manage projects and track samples from submission to data delivery. The team works collaboratively with you to ensure the success of your project.
FastTrack Services Sample Handling
All samples are stored and handled with care throughout the process. Project managers and lab staff work together to safeguard the integrity of every sample.
FastTrack Services Sample Verification
We verify each sample shipped to us before accepting for sequencing. Our project managers contact the project PI to discuss any abnormalities before moving forward with the project.
A fully automated process ensures positive sample tracking throughout the process from sample preparation to cluster generation. Every task is fully integrated with a custom laboratory information management system (LIMS) to track samples from beginning to end and alert the lab when a new task is available.
FastTrack Services Automation QC
To ensure that results are comparable from batch to batch, lab staff routinely calibrate the system using standard controls.
FastTrack Services Library Verification
All sample libraries are verified in a two-step process. We use qPCR for quantification and electrophoresis separation for fragment size detection. All processes are performed using lab automation and a laboratory information management system (LIMS). Through LIMS, lab staff can pass successful samples and alert project management about any failures that need reprocessing.
FastTrack Services Cluster Generation
Once sample libraries are verified and have passed QC checks, they are clustered using automation and Illumina’s proven cluster generation technology. FastTrack Services automates clonal cluster generation to deliver high-quality data for sequencing.
FastTrack Services Sequencing
FastTrack Services lab staff prepare reagents and scan flow cells on the HiSeq system. The LIMS verifies all consumables to reduce the chances of human error when starting sequencing runs.
FastTrack Services Sequencing Quality Control
Lab staff monitor each sequencing run to ensure the successful data generation. Underperforming sequencing runs are automatically queued for rework and notification is sent to the project management team.
FastTrack Services Sequencing Quality Control
Scientists and bioinformaticians monitor the informatics pipelines and genome build quality to ensure that every genome shipped is high quality.
FastTrack Services Sequencing Quality Control
If outlier samples that do not reach the required coverage are identified, our scientists and project managers conduct an investigation to determine the root cause and take action.
