Abstract

MGI DNBelab C single cell platform offers high-throughput, cost-effective sc 3'RNA, scATAC, sc5'RNA & V(D)J analysis solutions by leveraging our droplet generation system, automated library preparation system, and DNBSEQ sequencing system. With the mission of "To develop and promote advanced life science tools for future healthcare", MGI has been developing tools on Storage, Read, Write. MGI developed series of sequencer and lab automation systems with different throughput, providing solutions from small scale rapid clinical applications, to industrial scale sequencing projects such as national genome projects. MGI's 3rd main segment covers BIT products such as LIMS, Ztron data storage and analysis server, MGIclab sample storage system, and ultrasound platform.  Besides, STOmics proprietary Stereo-seq offers researchers a novel tool to explore spatial biology with unprecedented field-of-view, and subcellular resolution, enabling simultaneous transcriptome study and analysis at tissue-, cellular-, subcellular- and molecular level from fresh frozen tissue and FFPE tissue.
