GATC Biotech Becomes First SelectScience Platinum Seal of Quality Recipient
Sequencing services provider delighted to be awarded two of the new accolades thanks to its multiple positive reviews
17 Aug 2017
Sequencing services provider GATC Biotech has been named the first ever recipient of a SelectScience Platinum Seal of Quality, scooping not one but two of the coveted accolades.
The new Seals of Quality program recognizes products that have consistently received multiple positive reviews on SelectScience® and is designed to help scientists make important purchasing decisions for their labs with confidence. Seals of Quality are assigned to only approximately 0.1 % of products on the SelectScience website and allocated in line with strict criteria based on the quantity of reviews a product has received and the average rating of those reviews. There are four levels of Seals: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze — with those allocated the supreme Platinum Seal having been reviewed and highly rated by a minimum of 200 scientists across the world. So far, only 28 products have received a Seal of Quality.
Inspiring
GATC Biotech is one of the leading service providers for DNA and RNA sequencing and bioinformatics, with more than 10,000 customers worldwide, and was the first European company to provide next-generation sequencing services in 2006. The business puts its success down to constant innovation, an outstanding team and an inspiring corporate culture, as well as a dedicated focus on customer service.

Fantastic feeling
Responding to the news, Detlef Janssen, Head of Marketing & Communications at GATC Biotech said: “We are incredibly excited to receive this honor not just from SelectScience, but also from the reviewers who take the time to go on the website and leave their feedback. The Seal is especially important to us, as it serves as peer validation of the quality of our Sanger sequencing services.
