Norgen Biotek Corp., an innovative privately held Canadian biotechnology company focusing primarily on nucleic acid and protein stabilization and purification, as well as providing high quality services to the scientific community, today announced that it has become Propel-Certified through Illumina as a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) service provider. Norgen's Propel Certification covers both the NextSeq 500 System and the NextSeq 550 System.
Propel-Certified Labs demonstrate proficiency with Illumina NGS systems. In order to achieve Propel Certification, labs must undergo an intensive on-sight audit that covers all aspects of NGS, from receiving samples to the generation of the final report. Norgen was able to satisfy all the requirements of the Illumina Propel audit in order to successfully achieve certification. This new certification will complement Norgen's current quality certifications to ISO 15189:2012, ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015, indicating our continued commitment to providing high quality services and products to the scientific community.
