If you're involved in next gen sequencing research, having access to the proper labs and equipment is essential. Unfortunately, many institutions involved in this type of research don't have access to fully-equipped facility. Without proper facilities, you can fall behind on your research, or worse, watch as other research facilities present work that you would have accomplished had you had the access to technology you needed. If this scenario seems familiar, you should consider outsourcing your research. Here are just three of the ways that outsourcing your project will benefit you.

More Efficient Use of Time

If you have an operational facility at your institution that's limited in its research capabilities, you could find yourself waiting for valuable testing to be completed. Unfortunately, that can cause your project to fall behind schedule. However, when you outsource your project to nearby institutions that have larger research facilities, you can use your time more efficiently. Rather than wait for your research to be completed, you can have your data analyzed and returned in much less time. That means you'll be able to stay on schedule throughout the project.

Money-Saving Opportunities

If you're working at an institute with a smaller budget, you may not have access to the equipment you need. Unfortunately, spending money on the equipment you need may cause the rest of the operating budget to fail, which means the rest of the facility may suffer through unnecessary budget cuts. When you outsource your next gen sequencing projects, you're able to utilize the equipment you need, without undermining your own budget. Not only will that save the budget, but it might clear up funds that could be used elsewhere within the department.

Access to All Sequencing Expertise

When you're working on a next gen sequencing project, you need all the expertise you can find. When brilliant minds come together answers can be found to questions that you might not have even know you had. Unfortunately, when you work within one institution, your access to expertise is limited to those nearby. That can change when you outsource your sequencing project. Suddenly, you have access to the sequencing expertise of researchers at multiple research facilities. That access can move your research ahead at a more accelerated rate.

Don't let lack of available equipment delay your next gen sequencing research. Outsource your project to gain access to the expertise, equipment, and data you need.
