We believe the intersection of biology, engineering and computer science presents exciting opportunities for developing novel technologies that promote research
Join Watchmaker at #ESHG2026 for a 90-minute workshop with Dr. Laura Glaser (MGZ) & Dr. Pieter Mestdagh (CellCarta) on improving sequencing accuracy & scalability. We’ll also unveil Equinox Prime & EquiPlex Normalization. Visit us at Booth 256!
For the 4th year in a row, our Watchmakers teamed up with #HabitatForHumanity to help build a home for a family in need. 🏡🔨 From painting & nailing to sealing gaps, the team put their skills to work, & learned that “measure twice, cut once” is easier said than done. 😅
Data isn’t the only thing our teams have been generating lately. 😅
Across Boulder & Cape Town, Watchmakers came together to support survivors, vulnerable children, & local communities through donation drives, food support, & Slipper Day giving.

Why are developers switching from LAMP to RPA for point-of-care testing? RPA offers simpler 2-primer design, lower temps (~40°C), results in <10 min, strong inhibitor tolerance, & easier multiplexing - even from crude samples. More in the comments.

We’re in Santa Fe for the 20th Annual #SFAFMeeting, a uniquely technical genomics meeting built around real discussion between academia, industry, & government. Excited to talk sequencing performance, scaling workflows, & multiomic data. If you’re there, we would love to connect!
What’s it like to work at Watchmaker? Fast-moving, collaborative, and focused on solving hard problems in genomics. We’re hiring curious, driven people who want to build meaningful things alongside a smart, supportive team. Open roles in the comments. #Hiring
Cancer research is built on difficult samples: aged FFPE tissue, ultra-low input liquid biopsies, & hard-to-recover signals. During Cancer Research Month, we’re recognizing the researchers turning challenging samples into meaningful data & progress. #CancerResearchMonth

🌎 This Earth Day, WOUCHEE took “spring cleaning” outdoors. The Boulder team spent the afternoon cleaning up a bike path & along with the standard litter haul, we also managed to pull a rug out of the river, which was not on anyone’s bingo card. 😅

#RPA Fast Facts Pt 3: How to choose RPA enzymes.
We cover what matters most, lot-to-lot consistency, freeze-thaw stability, & activity-based QC for every enzyme. Build assays that are fast, reproducible, & scalable. More data in the comments.
