Will I see the same sensitivity if I run LabSuite in my own lab?

Yes, when the kit is run to protocol on a validated sequencing platform. We onboard every LabSuite customer with a paired-sample validation run so you can confirm sensitivity in your hands before going live. If a result diverges from what we see in the accredited lab, we will tell you why and what to change.

What sequencing platforms is LabSuite validated on?

Illumina platforms most European laboratories already operate. We do not require a proprietary instrument and we will not push you toward one. If you are on a platform we have not formally validated, we will run a paired validation with you before signing you up.

Can I start with one and add the other later?

Yes. Many customers start with the full-service route because it is the shortest path to a result, and add LabSuite once they have built internal capacity or volume justifies it. Others start with LabSuite for discovery and add the accredited lab for confirmatory work. The contracts and pricing are designed for that.

Who designs the personalised panel?

We do, in both cases. Tumour sample and germline control sample, or data files, comes to Simsen, the panel is built, and either runs in our lab or is shipped to yours as a LabSuite component. Panel design is a Simsen service regardless of which delivery route you choose.

What about data and IP?

Your data is yours. Raw FASTQ and BAM are delivered with every analysis in the full-service route, and never leave your laboratory in the LabSuite route. Pipeline and protocols are documented and open. We do not claim ownership of patient data, your panel design, or downstream analyses you build on top of the output.

Two Delivery Models | Send samples or run in-house

The two models

One platform. Two delivery models. Pick the one that fits your operations.

Scientists, clinicians and operators who chose to work on ctDNA at the edge of detection.

Full-service Simsen lab

Send samples to our ISO 15189-compliant EU laboratory. We handle everything from sample receipt to clinical report.

This is for you if

You want the turnaround and the interpretation done for you, without standing up an internal SiMSen-Seq pipeline.

ISO 15189-compliant sample handling and reporting
Validated logistics across the EU, UK and EEA
10-15 working days standard turnaround
Personalised panel design from your tumour sample
Clinical report with longitudinal view and interpretation help
Co-publication and protocol design support available

LabSuite, in your laboratory

SiMSen-Seq library prep kits and pipeline, validated to run on the sequencing platforms you already operate.

This is for you if

You have the bench capacity, want full control of the workflow, or are running volumes that justify an internal pipeline.

Library prep kits with the full SiMSen-Seq chemistry
Instrument-agnostic: Illumina validated
Open, documented analysis pipeline
Personalised panel design as a service from Simsen
You keep raw data, control turnaround, run on your schedule
Onboarding, training and ongoing scientific support included

Side by side

The trade-offs, attribute by attribute.

The science is identical between the two routes. The differences are operational: cost structure, control, turnaround, capability inside your team.

Attribute	Full-service Simsen lab	LabSuite (your lab)
Chemistry and sensitivity	SiMSen-Seq, ~0.001% VAF panel-level MRD Identical to LabSuite.	SiMSen-Seq, ~0.001% VAF panel-level MRD Identical to full-service route.
Cost structure	Per-sample pricing Predictable, no internal capacity investment required.	Kit pricing + sequencing Lower per-sample cost at volume; assumes you have the bench and instrument capacity.
Turnaround control	10-15 working days, standard We schedule the run, you receive the report. Fast TAT available.	You decide Run on your own schedule, prioritise urgent samples, batch as suits you.
Raw data ownership	Yes FASTQ + BAM delivered with every analysis. You keep it.	Yes Never leaves your laboratory in the first place.
Personalised panel design	Included in service ~2-3 weeks from tumour sample.	Delivered by Simsen Panel design as a service from us; you run the panel
Bioinformatics pipeline	Simsen pipeline Open, documented, reproducible. Run your own pipeline against the raw data if you prefer.	Open Simsen pipeline + your own Same pipeline, runs locally. Replace any step.
Scientific support	Co-publication, interpretation, protocol design	Onboarding, training, ongoing scientific contact

Same chemistry, either way

Concise overviews to share with a colleague or take into a meeting.

The science is identical. The decision is how you want to operate it.

Whichever route you choose, the same UMI-barcoded chemistry, the same error suppression, the same panel design. A sample run through LabSuite in your lab and the same sample run through the Simsen lab return comparable results.
