Our Lab Service Range

A comprehensive suite of services using the latest instrumentation and technology, run by the expert teams that developed them. Operating from 3CR Bioscience in Harlow, UK, we have the expertise and technology to advance your research at highly competitive rates for European customers.

DNA EXTRACTION

Our meticulous DNA extraction process ensures the highest purity and yield, providing you with the perfect starting material for your genomic experiments. Trust us to deliver reliable results, every time. We use conventional magnetic bead extraction reagents with a rapid extraction method for plant tissue, animal tissue, and blood samples.

3CR Bioscience Lab Service DNA Extraction

Endpoint genotyping

Our endpoint genotyping service uses 3CR Bio’s patented PACE® Genotyping Chemistry which allows you to characterise your samples with maximum accuracy and efficiency.

Whether you need to analyse a handful of markers or an extensive panel, our team is equipped to handle it with accuracy and speed. DNA extraction can be included, or you can send us your extracted DNA, ready to genotype.

Genotyping by target
sequencing (Gbts)

Explore your genetic diversity with advanced Genotyping By Target Sequencing (GBTS). We excel in high-throughput analysis, effortlessly genotyping thousands of markers across your samples, delivering data you need. GBTS targets specific genome regions, reducing sequencing workload while providing high-density genotype profiles for large samples.
Our partners MolBreeding Biotech are pioneers in high-throughput GBTS services, offering standardised sample collection, library construction, QC automation and a unique cloud data analysis platform.

Steve began his career in the Genetics Division of GlaxoSmithKline, as part of the team establishing GSK’s high-throughput core genotyping laboratory. Steve joined KBioscience when it was first founded in 2002 and was a key driver in taking the company from a small start-up to a multi-national service laboratory, quickly growing the company’s revenue to over $7.5M p.a. Following the acquisition of Kbioscience by LGC in 2011, Steve was appointed Global Director of Operations for LGC Genomics, responsible for over 100 staff in Europe and N. America, successfully elevating the genotyping products and service business. Steve held a crucial leadership role until he left in 2016. In 2017 Steve joined forces with John Holme to create 3CR Bioscience, a new company with a mission to deliver outstanding, customer-focused genotyping products with innovation and affordability at its core.
Dr. John Holme Technical Director
John joined KBioscience shortly after it was founded, in 2003, and became Head of Technical Development, building the company’s genotyping and DNA extraction product portfolio and service delivery until 2011 when it was acquired by LGC. Post-acquisition, John was appointed Head of Technical Group for LGC Genomics, in charge of all Research & Development and Technical Support activities for the company. In this role John continued to build on the high-quality products and services provided to the companies growing customer base.

Jon Curtis Non-Executive Chair
After 8 years in The Royal Air Force, Jon moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund where he pioneered the use of ultra high-throughput genomic automation, capable of 46,000 PCRs per hour. In the 1990’s Jon joined GlaxoSmithKline, implementing a high-throughput genomics platform into their drug discovery pipeline. Whilst there he also developed acoustic mixing into compound management, becoming the gold standard across pharma. Jon developed the world’s first commercially viable 1536-well PCR plates, automated thermal & laser plate-sealer, plus automated liquid-handling & tip washing tools to reduce waste and costs. In 2002 Jon co-founded KBioscience with Phil Robinson, utilising ultra high-throughput PCR instrumentation & a suite of automation tools to create the company’s SNPline robotic platform, with a capacity of 250,000 PCRs/day. The business was underpinned by their ground-breaking patented genotyping chemistry, KASP™, which has over 10,000 scientific papers to date. In November 2022 Jon joined 3CR Bioscience acting as an advisor bringing his commercial and scientific experience to the company.
