Sunquest Mitogen LIMS and Genetic Analysis Software

Aug 22, 2017

Sunquest Information Systems has released Sunquest Mitogen, a new laboratory information management system and genetic analysis software platform to support molecular diagnostics and precision medicine. Mitogen, based in part on technology Sunquest acquired when it bought GeneInsight and UniConnect in 2016, is meant to help both wet and dry labs move into next-generation sequencing.
