Partner Program — 3–5 Laboratories — March 2026

Our workflow in your lab.
Robust from day one.

DNA ME is selecting a small number of laboratories for a 12-month partnership. We deploy our complete sequencing workflow in your facility — hardware, reagents, GPU-free software, and training. One kit. Any panel. 48-hour turnaround.

Validated: Prevendo ToxoGard
Not a vendor transaction.
A partnership.

We deploy everything your lab needs. You provide the expertise, the samples, and the feedback that shapes what DNA ME becomes. This is mutual investment — built on shared interest in making sequencing simpler.

What You Receive

Complete Workflow Deployment

Oxford Nanopore hardware (MinION or GridION), DNA ME's proprietary reagents, GPU-free bioinformatics software, and hands-on staff training. Everything from a single source, configured for your lab's specific environment.

What We Ask

Operational Feedback & Data

Monthly performance data, structured feedback on workflows and software, and a commitment to building the platform together. Your real-world experience becomes the evidence that validates the platform for the wider market.

The Differentiator

One Chemistry, Any Panel

Digital panel emulation means you never redevelop chemistry for a new target. Microbiome today, pathogen panel tomorrow, eDNA next week — same kit, same protocol, same results quality. That's not a limitation. It's a design principle.

The Infrastructure Advantage

No GPU. No Problem.

DNA ME's proprietary software pipeline runs without GPU infrastructure. Your existing IT setup is sufficient. This eliminates the single largest hidden cost in conventional sequencing deployments — and it's why the economics work for labs of any size.

From first contact to
independent operation

A structured 8-week implementation followed by ongoing optimization. We move at your pace, but we don't waste your time.

Weeks 1 – 2

Technical Assessment & Planning

On-site or virtual infrastructure assessment. Detailed implementation plan covering hardware placement, IT configuration, reagent supply, and training schedule. No GPU infrastructure needed.

Weeks 3 – 4

Hardware Deployment & Installation

Sequencing hardware delivered and installed. Software configured for your environment. First test sample processed under supervision to validate the complete workflow.

Weeks 5 – 6

Staff Training & Supervised Runs

2–3 day intensive training: library preparation, sequencing protocol, software operation, data interpretation, troubleshooting. At least three supervised runs with real samples.

Weeks 7 – 8

Independent Operation

Your lab runs independently. First independent run monitored remotely by DNA ME. Dedicated technical contact available via direct messaging. Response time: under 2 hours for operational issues.

Ongoing

Monthly Reviews & Quarterly Business Reviews

Monthly: turnaround times, data quality, throughput, technical issues. Quarterly: strategic discussion with DNA ME leadership — expansion plans, new panels, referral opportunities, partnership evolution.

Your lab. Our workflow. Robust results — always.
DNA ME Lab Enablement
Built for partners,
not customers

Every benefit is designed to make the partnership valuable from day one — for your lab and for the research community you serve.

01

Waived Infrastructure Assessment

Complimentary one-day on-site or virtual assessment of your lab's space, IT, staff, and workflows. A tailored implementation plan — no obligation.

02

Priority Panel Access

Every new digital panel released during the beta period is available to you at no additional charge. First access, always.

03

Co-Development Input

Quarterly product roadmap reviews. Your feedback directly shapes software features, panel priorities, and workflow optimizations.

04

Joint Publications

At least one peer-reviewed publication per partner during the beta. Validation evidence for your facility and the broader community.

05

Founding Partner Status

Permanent designation. Logo on the DNA ME website. Joint announcement. Standing invitation to advisory events.

06

Referral Revenue Share

10% credit on your next invoice for every lab you refer that signs a Service C agreement. You grow the network, you benefit.

07

Extended Payment Terms

Setup fees payable over six months. Monthly support begins only after your lab achieves independent operation. You don't pay for what you're not yet using.

08

Dedicated Technical Contact

A named scientist at DNA ME, available via direct messaging during European business hours. Under 2 hours response for operational issues. Not a help desk — a scientific partner.

09

Guaranteed Transition Terms

Post-beta commercial terms at the same rates. No price increases at graduation. Priority consideration for future tiered partnership programs.

Whatever you sequence.

The platform is agnostic. One workflow handles any DNA panel. These are our priority verticals — but your lab's needs define what we build next.

🧬 Microbiome
One kit. Every community. 16S, ITS, shotgun metagenomic, AMR — pivot between panels without changing reagents. Iterative study designs that would take months with conventional workflows become feasible in weeks.
🐾 Veterinary
The animal is in front of you now. Pathogen panels, genetic screens, breed verification — 48-hour results within the treatment window. Already validated: Prevendo ToxoGard veterinary toxoplasmosis test.
🌿 eDNA
Capture biodiversity as the ecosystem presents it. Switch taxa targets between seasons — fish, amphibians, invertebrates, plants — from a single workflow. 48-hour processing preserves signal that degrades with every day of delay.
🌾 Agri-Genomics
The shipment can't wait. Plant pathogen panels, SNP genotyping, GMO detection. Same-week results for export certifications and breeding programs, without dedicated Illumina infrastructure.
🔬 Food Safety
One workflow. Every food safety question. Pathogen detection, species authentication, allergen screening — consolidated into a single platform. 48-hour turnaround meets the regulatory timelines your lab operates under.
Is your lab a fit?

We select partners as carefully as partners select us. Here's what we look for — and what makes a partnership work.

Tier 1 — Perfect Fit

Pursue Now

Meets all core criteria and multiple strategic indicators. These are the partnerships we build around.

+ Core facility or reference lab
+ 20+ samples/month
+ Single decision-maker
+ DACH / NL / UK location
+ Recognizable institution
+ Active publication record
Tier 2 — Strong Fit

Pursue if Capacity Allows

Meets core operational criteria but fewer strategic indicators. Still valuable — especially for vertical diversification.

+ Adequate lab space and staff
+ 20+ samples/month
+ Budget available within 12 weeks
+ Covers a priority vertical
Tier 3 — Future Pipeline

Nurture for Next Cohort

Strong interest but timing barriers — budget cycle, procurement process, or pending decisions. We stay in touch.

+ Clear use case and interest
+ Timing barrier is temporary
+ Invited to webinars & events
Same kit. Any panel. Results you can publish.
