Leading the Way in Genomic Innovation

At the heart of modern medicine lies the ability to decode the human genome with absolute precision. As a specialised Genetic Testing Center, our NGS sequencing lab serves as a hub for advanced molecular analysis — allowing us to identify complex genetic variations that were once undetectable. By integrating high end automated systems with expert clinical interpretation, we provide a comprehensive diagnostic ecosystem.

Our chromosomal microarray lab identifies precise submicroscopic imbalances with industry leading accuracy — ensuring that patients receive the most detailed insights into their genetic health. Our commitment to technological excellence ensures that clinicians and patients have access to the latest diagnostic tools.

Our Core Technological Capabilities for Genetic Testing

Our facility is designed to handle a diverse range of genetic investigations, from single gene analysis to whole genome studies. We utilise a multiplatform approach to ensure every sample is analysed using the most appropriate technology.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Our laboratory leverages next generation sequencing genetics to perform high-throughput analysis. We house a robust suite of NGS platforms to suit varied clinical needs:

High Throughput Platforms: Fastaseq 300, Surfseq 5000, and GenoLab-M.
Targeted Sequencing: NGS MiniSeq and ION S5 systems.

These technologies allow for simultaneous screening of multiple genes — essential for oncology panels and rare disease diagnostics.

Sanger Sequencing

Recognised as the gold standard for validation, our sanger sequencing genetics platform utilises advanced Genetic Analysers for targeted gene analysis and — confirming variants identified through NGS. This ensures the highest level of accuracy for clinical reporting.

Chromosomal Microarray (CMA)

As a specialised chromosomal microarray lab, we utilise high-resolution 315K and 750K arrays to detect copy number variations (CNVs), microdeletions, and duplications across the entire genome. This is a critical tool for prenatal diagnostics and — identifying developmental delays.

Cytogenetics & FISH

We combine traditional expertise with modern automation. Our cytogenetics department features:

Automated AI-enabled workstations for precise imaging.
Advanced karyotyping and fluorescence In situ hybridisation (FISH) capabilities to detect structural chromosomal abnormalities.

Flow Cytometry

Our flow cytometry lab is equipped with the BD FACS Lyric system. This advanced laser based technology analyses cellular characteristics with high sensitivity — which is vital for immunogenetics and leukaemia/lymphoma phenotyping.

Molecular Diagnostics & Real-Time PCR

For rapid and precise molecular quantification, we utilise the QS 5 (QuantStudio 5) Real Time PCR system. For time sensitive diagnostics, the BioFire & GeneXpert platform genetics integration allows for rapid syndromic testing — providing results in a fraction of the traditional time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the advantage of an NGS sequencing lab?

An NGS sequencing lab uses high throughput technology (like our Fastaseq 300) to sequence millions of DNA fragments simultaneously. This allows for the analysis of entire gene panels — providing a much broader diagnostic picture than traditional methods.

When is Sanger sequencing genetics used?

Sanger sequencing genetics is typically used when a specific, known gene mutation needs to be analysed or to confirm the results found during a larger NGS screen. It remains the most accurate method for small scale DNA sequencing.

What does a chromosomal microarray lab detect?

A chromosomal microarray lab identifies small gains or losses of genetic material (CNVs) using high-density 750K arrays. It is highly effective in — diagnosing unexplained developmental delays, autism, and congenital anomalies.

Why is the BioFire and GeneXpert platform used?

The BioFire and GeneXpert platform genetics tools are essential for rapid infectious disease diagnostics and time-sensitive molecular testing. They provide “sample-to-answer” results quickly — which is essential for diagnosing infectious diseases and critical genetic markers where time is of the essence.

How does a flow cytometry lab contribute to genetics?

Our flow cytometry lab utilises the BD FACS Lyric to evaluate cell populations at a molecular level. In genetics, this is used to study how certain gene expressions affect cell behavior — crucial for diagnosing immune system deficiencies and blood cancers.
