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.

FFPE & cfDNA samples keep sequencing teams humble 😅 Low input. Damage. Artifacts. Coverage headaches. But difficult samples shouldn’t mean compromised data. Watchmaker’s high-efficiency #NGS library prep solutions help maximize usable insights from challenging samples. 🔑🧬

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!

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. 😅
