SINGAPOREandSOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.,May 6, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- Plasmidsaurus, the company that sequences while you sleep, today announced the opening of its tenth global sequencing lab, located inSingapore'svibrant biomedical hub. The new site dramatically shortens turnaround times for researchers fromSeoultoSydney, delivering the world's fastest, highest‑accuracy, and most cost-effective sequencing services.
Sequencing at the Speed of Modern Science
Plasmidsaurus was founded to help scientists work faster. Despite incredible advancements in DNA sequencing technology that have dramatically accelerated the speed and lowered the cost of sequencing genomes, many biomedical researchers are still using sequencing technologies from the 1970s to advance their daily experiments. Plasmidsaurus believes that scientists shouldn't have to put up with slow turnaround times and unreliable or inconclusive results that stall their progress.
Singaporehas a thriving and growing research community, bolstered by aS$25Binvestment in Research, Innovation and Enterprise, including significant support for cell and gene therapy, healthcare, and epidemic preparedness. But researchers across theAsia-Pacificregion are often stuck with sequencing options that take weeks and cost more than twice what scientists in the US andEuropecan expect. The new lab reflects Plasmidsaurus'mission to deliver the fastest and more reliable sequencing to accelerate R&D for biopharmaceutical companies, CDMOs, and advanced research institutions around the world.
Global reach, local impact
"Our tenth lab is more than a milestone—it's a signal that great science shouldn't be gated by geography,"said Mark Budde, cofounder and CEO of Plasmidsaurus."Whether you're debugging an AAV vector for a gene therapy inBostonor validating a plasmid for clinical manufacturing inSingapore, you'll get the same data quality and overnight turnaround our customers all over the world rely on."
Plasmidsaurus's network of labs benefits from the company's innovation in molecular biology, laboratory automation, bioinformatics software, and logistics that drive incredible speed and industry-leading accuracy across a wide range of sequencing services. For researchers and biotech and pharma companies scaling up research and development, that translates to faster design-build-test cycles, more reliable results, and less time spent troubleshooting logistics.
"We love sequencing with Plasmidsaurus to validate clones,"saidJonathan Bester, co-founder ofSingapore-based biotech startup Peptobiotics."It's faster, less tedious, and more comprehensive thanSanger, translating to better and faster experiments and shorter R&D timelines overall. The new lab inSingaporeis going to be a game-changer for us."
