When the world’s leader in next-generation sequencing is using its technology to help the world track transmission, conduct surveillance, develop therapies and vaccines and protect the vulnerable from COVID-19, their work needs to be perfect, leaving no room for error. Thus, it is essential that every piece of equipment they utilize needs to be of the highest caliber.
At Illumina, the goal is to apply innovative technologies to the analysis of genetic variation and function, making studies possible that were not even imaginable just a few years ago. It is mission critical for us to deliver innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions to meet the needs of their customers. As a global company that places high value on collaborative interactions, rapid delivery of solutions, and providing the highest level of quality, they strive to meet this challenge.

When Illumina needed to improve their staging of material by having perfect humidity control, high resolution, overall low achievable %RH and fast recovery, they went to XDRY.

Any questions I had, he would respond promptly and diligently. Purchasing equipment and setting up have been straightforward and easy thanks to the XDry team.”
