Scientific Services

deCODE offers its expertise in human SNP and microsatellite genotyping as a contract service. We operate the largest and most advanced high-throughput microsatellite and SNP array genotyping facility in the world, supported by world-class scientists in genetics, robotics, statistics, and informatics. deCODE’s peak capacity is 30 million microsatellite genotypes and 3 billion SNP genotypes per month. Backed by years of experience deCODE has created the most complete genetic map of the human genome and has an unrivalled track record in mapping and validating disease genes for common and complex diseases.

Benefits of our services:

  • Time-saving - deCODE provides a complete service, including DNA extraction from blood or whole genome amplification (if needed), genotyping, automated allele calling and QC.
  • Cost-effective – No investment is needed to set up a high-throughput genotyping facility. Simply send your samples and receive high quality genotypes within weeks
  • Fast - deCODE rapidly transforms your projects from sample to data, utilizing its high-throughput facility with a capacity to perform 160 million SNP genotypes or 1 million microsatellite genotypes per day.
  • High-quality data –Genotyping platforms have been selected and optimized for high reproducibility and call rates and deCODE operates a LIMS to support automated workflow and sample tracking
  • High-quality service - Samples are processed by deCODE’s experienced team who is dedicated to quality and customer service, ensuring that your samples are handled with care and efficiency.
