“Volta Labs is building a sequencing technology agnostic platform that spans from the raw biological sample to sequenceable molecules. Advancing the front-end of the workflow is the next frontier as we see the industry achieve the $100 genome.”
“We have been hard at work to develop bioautomation technology and we are excited to unveil the company and the technology at AGBT,” said Udayan Umapathi, CEO at Volta Labs. “Volta Labs is building a sequencing technology agnostic platform that spans from the raw biological sample to sequenceable molecules. Advancing the front-end of the workflow is the next frontier as we see the industry achieve the $100 genome.”
Over the last two decades, the cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted but there haven’t been nearly enough advances in the cost of sample preparation and library preparation, a necessary precursor to sequencing. Therefore, budgets at laboratories growing DNA sequencing volumes are increasingly consumed by the costs of sample preparation. Volta Labs approaches this challenge with a multidisciplinary solution that re-imagines fluidics and automation from the ground up.
