DNA ME is selecting a small number of laboratories for a 12-month partnership. We deploy our complete workflow in your facility — Oxford Nanopore hardware, our reagents, the Cloud Anchor and Cloud Portal software, and hands-on training — so your lab runs native genetic-plus-epigenetic sequencing independently. No bisulfite. No GPUs. No bioinformatics team.
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.
Oxford Nanopore hardware (MinION or GridION; PromethION integration available), DNA ME's proprietary reagents, the Cloud Anchor compute device running SEN Encoding locally, the Cloud Portal interface, and hands-on staff training. Everything from a single source, configured for your environment.
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.
HBs for targeted methylation and variants, CBs for full native epigenetics, WES G2 for exome-wide discovery. Digital panels let you move between targets — microbiome today, a pathogen panel tomorrow — without redeveloping chemistry.
DNA ME's SEN Encoding runs on the Cloud Anchor without GPU infrastructure. Your existing IT is sufficient. This eliminates the single largest hidden cost in conventional sequencing deployments — a fraction of conventional OPEX.
Your lab runs all three tiers on the same nanopore platform — from targeted enrichment to exome-wide discovery, no new chemistry per target.
Targeted 5mC methylation and genetic variants. Bait-based enrichment, up to 24 samples per flow cell. Entry tier. Turnaround 48–96 h.
Full native epigenetics: 5mC + 5hmC + 6mA. CRISPR/Cas9-guided, long reads (5–20 kb) for allele-specific and haplotype-resolved methylation. Turnaround 60–96 h.
Exome-wide full native epigenetics via adaptive sampling, no physical enrichment. For discovery, when you don't yet know where to look. Turnaround 72–96 h.
A structured 8-week implementation followed by ongoing optimization. We move at your pace, but we don't waste your time.
On-site or virtual infrastructure assessment. Detailed implementation plan covering hardware placement, IT configuration, reagent supply, and training schedule. No GPU infrastructure needed.
Sequencing hardware and the Cloud Anchor delivered and installed. Software configured for your environment. First test sample processed under supervision to validate the complete workflow.
2–3 day intensive training: library preparation, sequencing protocol, software operation, data interpretation, troubleshooting. At least three supervised runs with real samples.
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.
Monthly: turnaround times, data quality, throughput, technical issues. Quarterly: strategic discussion with DNA ME leadership — expansion plans, new panels, referral opportunities, partnership evolution.
Every benefit is designed to make the partnership valuable from day one — for your lab and for the research community you serve.
Complimentary one-day on-site or virtual assessment of your lab's space, IT, staff, and workflows. A tailored implementation plan — no obligation.
Every new digital panel released during the beta period is available to you at no additional charge. First access, always.
Quarterly product roadmap reviews. Your feedback directly shapes software features, panel priorities, and workflow optimizations.
At least one peer-reviewed publication per partner during the beta. Validation evidence for your facility and the broader community.
Permanent designation. Logo on the DNA ME website. Joint announcement. Standing invitation to advisory events.
10% credit on your next invoice for every lab you refer that signs a Service C agreement. You grow the network, you benefit.
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.
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.
Post-beta commercial terms at the same rates. No price increases at graduation. Priority consideration for future tiered partnership programs.
The platform is agnostic. One workflow handles any DNA target. These are our priority verticals — but your lab's needs define what we build next.
We select partners as carefully as partners select us. Here's what we look for — and what makes a partnership work.
Meets all core criteria and multiple strategic indicators. These are the partnerships we build around.
Meets core operational criteria but fewer strategic indicators. Still valuable — especially for vertical diversification.
Strong interest but timing barriers — budget cycle, procurement process, or pending decisions. We stay in touch.
We approach partners proactively, but we welcome inbound interest. Complete this form and we'll schedule a qualification call within one week.
This is not an application form — it is the beginning of a conversation. We use this information to assess mutual fit and schedule a 30-minute qualification call. No commitments at this stage.
