Countable Labs unveils Certified Service Provider Program
Countable Labs recently unveiled its Countable Certified Service Provider (CSP) program, giving researchers access to Countable PCR technology and the expertise of highly trained scientists at established core and service laboratories around the world.
Countable PCR is a single-molecule quantification technology designed for research, translational science, and industrial testing. It extends the capabilities of digital PCR, but doesn't rely on Poisson correction or standard curves, thus reducing ambiguity in quantification and improving sensitivity and precision at low target concentrations.
The Countable PCR platform accommodates broad dynamic range, multiplexing, and high throughput reactions in a single workflow. It also supports single-molecule linkage analysis, enabling the study of heredity patterns and identifying genomic regions associated with disease, alongside detection of rare events, fusions, and markers of genome integrity across varied sample types.
CSPs complete a robust training and validation program enabling them to give customers expert guidance and end-to-end study support, including consultation on study design, appropriate use of the technology, and bioinformatics analysis. By working with a CSP, researchers can immediately generate high quality Countable PCR data on their own samples supported by trusted laboratories with deep expertise using the platform.
Scientists at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have already completed the Countable CSP Program and are available to support research projects. The Genomics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource at Fred Hutch was an early adopter of the Countable PCR technology and has processed hundreds of samples across nine internal research groups for applications including library quantification, transcript quantification, and fusion detection. Their services include study consultation, full sample processing, training, and data analysis support, covering projects of any scale from initial feasibility experiments to large multi-cohort studies.
Countable Labs is actively recruiting additional core laboratories and contract research organizations with experience working with DNA and RNA inputs to join the CSP network. Certified partners receive formal training and validation, access to Countable Labs scientific and technical resources, and early access to new workflows and applications as the platform develops.
