Scientific Services

DNA Sanger Sequencing ISO9001

We use automated Dye-Terminator Sequencing (Sanger Sequencing) to provide long high quality reads from the most various DNA templates. In more than 10 years we have provided service to support hundreds of basic and translational research projects. In addition, we participate in the diagnostic activity of the CGT lab.

Genomic Unit - Microarray ISO9001

We perform gene expression profiling on total RNA, miRNA, mRNA from cells or tissues from human, mouse, rat and other species.
We perform genomic analysis on human samples for molecular karyotyping, copy number variation or genotyping, using high density Affymetrix® microarrays.

Genomic Unit - NGS ISO9001

The Genomic Unit of Cogentech has 15-years of experience in Next Generation Sequencing applications and offers its know-how to support your research projects. We are equipped with state-of-the-art platforms and provide complete support for a range of applications including standard RNA sequencing, ChIP-seq, Whole-Exome Sequencing, deep sequencing of target regions and advanced single-cell-omics or spatial transcriptomics–based approaches. Our laboratory is experienced in supporting Clinical Trials.

Histopathology ISO9001

Our mission is to provide a high quality service for the evaluation and characterization of normal and pathological tissues from any kind of experimental model system.
Optimization of protocols for new stains or biological specimen.

Integrated Genomics Unit ISO9001

The Integrated Genomics Facility consists of three state-of-the-art units: NGS Sequencing, Histopathology and Bioinformatics and represents a new scientific reality in southern Italy in the field of molecular diagnostics in oncology.

Biological Research Facility ISO9001

The mission of the Biological Research Facility Service is to provide a state of the art environment for research with laboratory mice.

Proteomics & Metabolomics

The Proteomics and Metabolomics unit provides a full infrastructure for the identification, characterization and quantification of proteins, metabolites and lipids. The unit includes several instrumental platforms for the separation of those molecules starting from simple or complex samples. The proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics analysis rely on state-of-the art mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS).

Quantitative PCR ISO9001

Quantitative analysis of any specific target sequence for gene expression, copy number variation or variant analysis, in low and high-throughput mode.
Real time QPCR and digital PCR.
Special protocols for small amounts of starting material.
