GATC Biotech's new sequencing laboratory will be its second in Germany and will be located in the Life Science Center in Dusseldorf.
Through the new facilities, scientists from Northern Germany and adjacent countries will benefit from GATC Biotech's Nightxpress overnight service, which was introduced in 2007.
This single sample sequencing service reduces delivery times to close to half a day from sample collection.
The laboratory will be subject to the same stringent quality standards and automation as the laboratories in GATC Biotech's headquarters in Constance, Germany.
It will start operations on 4 January 2011.
