Synchron Lab Automation

Since 1985, Dutch automation company Synchron Instrumenten BV, also known as Synchron Lab Automation has provided automated solutions in various types of labs, ranging from the oil industry to agro, chemical, clinical, and water/food applications. Synchron continues to develop & support the existing systems and build new systems for its customers with an extensive portfolio of its germination, seed health testing and seed picking systems for plant breeding companies.

In April 2023, MolGen announced that it had acquired Synchron Lab Automation. With this acquisition MolGen expanded its existing portfolio and its ability to build high-end automation solutions for DNA/RNA purification, library preparation and NGS setup to support MolGen’s reagent business. The custom liquid handling platforms and rapid prototyping capabilities further expanded MolGen’s automation portfolio.

MolGen and Synchron have co-developed several automated solutions in recent years, ranging from systems for sample transfer from capped sample tubes to microtitre plates, to a platform for ultra high throughput DNA/RNA purification, called the DNA Factory. This system provides serial automation that enables laboratories to scale up DNA/RNA purification, PCR setup and library preparation for NGS applications.

AgriPlex Genomics

AgriPlex Genomics was established in 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio, to develop a targeted sequencing and genotyping platform for large populations that is accessible and affordable. AgriPlex Genomics is a leading genotyping services provider that partners with plant and animal breeders from the industry, academia, government, and non-government organizations to provide crucial genotype data for the development of healthier and more productive crops and livestock.

In July 2023 MolGen and AgriPlex Genomics collaborated to open a joint servicelab in Europe. This lab is based in Veenendaal, the Netherlands and will offer improved turn-around times to their European customers. European plant and animal breeders will benefit from a combination of AgriPlex’s targeted genotyping-by-sequencing custom library preparation and analysis and MolGen’s DNA extraction and automation technologies at the new lab.
