Automated processing of large sample volumes with consistent quality — ideal when you want to outsource DNA testing in series.
Clean preparation and extraction of DNA from saliva or other sample materials as a reliable foundation for every analysis.
Shipping, intake, registration and storage of samples — we organize the entire path from collection to the lab.
Structured results as raw data or a finished report — in the format your platform or your report requires.
From the first test run to ongoing large-scale series — we scale our capacity together with your volume.
We operate our own, certified EU genetic lab — no samples passed on, no anonymous subcontracting to third parties.
We have developed more than 30 of our own genetic tests — that analytical experience flows directly into your project.
Sample logistics, extraction, analysis and reporting all come together with us — one point of contact instead of a long supply chain.
Automated processes allow large sample volumes to be handled without any loss of quality — even as volume grows.
Analysis and evaluation take place in Austria under EU requirements — a clear quality and trust argument toward your customers.
Whether pure contract analysis, joint development or a white-label solution — we tailor the cooperation to your model.
Building your own genetic lab takes years, millions and specialist expertise. With Novogenia, you tap into an existing, certified infrastructure instead: DNA extraction, SNP genotyping and high-throughput analytics run in our EU genetic lab in Salzburg. You deliver the samples, or you hand the sample logistics straight to us — and we deliver reproducible results.
Discuss your contract lab →A contract lab — also called an outsourcing lab or partner laboratory — performs genetic analyses on behalf of another company. Instead of building your own genetic lab, you outsource the genetic analysis to a specialized service provider that has the instruments, methods and qualified staff. You supply samples or the research question, and the contract lab returns reproducible results.
The appeal is obvious: operating your own genetic lab ties up substantial investment in instruments, cleanroom technology and skilled staff. If you only need genetic analyses on a project basis or as part of a larger product, an outsourcing lab is far more economical — and keeps you flexible. For exactly this, Novogenia operates its own, certified EU genetic lab in Salzburg and has been active as a genetic lab since 2009.
Outsourcing genetic analyses is attractive for many players. These include brands and providers of health or DNA tests that don't want to run their own lab, as well as diagnostics and biotech companies with short-term capacity needs. Research institutions and companies that only require genotyping on a project basis also benefit from an external laboratory service.
They all have one thing in common: they focus on their product, their brand or their study — while the contract lab handles the analytical work. Especially at market entry, outsourcing DNA testing significantly reduces risk, because you don't have to maintain equipment or staff while demand is still uncertain. As the business grows, the volume at your partner laboratory can simply be scaled up.
The spectrum ranges from pure DNA extraction through targeted SNP genotyping to high-throughput processing of large sample volumes. Novogenia has developed more than 30 of its own genetic tests and brings that methodological expertise to every project.
You can outsource individual steps or hand over the entire process from sample to finished report — depending on what you want to cover yourself. Some clients already supply extracted DNA and only need the genotyping; others hand over raw saliva samples and leave extraction, analysis and evaluation to us. This modularity is what makes a contract lab so versatile: it fits exactly into the gap that is open in your own process.
A frequently underestimated part of the genetic analysis is the logistics. Samples have to be safely collected, clearly assigned, shipped and registered before the analysis can even begin. Mistakes at this stage — a mixed-up sample, an interrupted transport — can no longer be corrected in the lab.
As your partner laboratory, on request we organize the entire sample logistics — from branded saliva collection kits through shipping to sample intake and registration in the system. That gives you a continuous chain without handover losses, instead of having to coordinate several service providers. Every sample remains clearly traceable, which safeguards data integrity across the entire project.
Anyone who outsources DNA testing usually doesn't just want to process a few samples but to scale reliably. Automated workflows enable high-throughput processing of large sample volumes at consistent quality — an advantage a small in-house lab rarely achieves.
At Novogenia you start with a test run and scale up the ongoing contract analysis as your volume grows — without reproducibility or turnaround suffering. This elasticity is decisive precisely for seasonal businesses or fast-growing brands: the lab breathes with demand instead of limiting it. Standardized processes ensure that the thousandth sample is treated exactly like the first.
Genetic analyses demand seamless traceability and reproducible results. Look for a contract lab that operates in a certified facility to EU standard and guarantees end-to-end documentation. At Novogenia, analysis and evaluation take place in Austria — Made in Austria is not only a quality argument but also a trust argument toward your end customers.
Just as important as the analysis itself is the form in which you receive the results. We deliver them in your preferred format, whether as structured raw data for further processing in your own pipeline or as a finished report. That way the results can be incorporated into your platform, your report or your evaluation without friction.
Not every outsourcing lab is the same. Anyone who outsources genetic analyses hands over a sensitive part of the value chain and should choose the partner carefully. A first criterion is whether the lab actually performs the analysis itself or merely passes the samples on — an own, certified genetic lab stands for clear responsibility instead of anonymous subcontracting.
Equally important are methodological experience, the reproducibility of the results, scalability at high throughput, and the question of whether the sample logistics also come from a single source. A partner laboratory that covers the entire chain from sample to report spares you the coordination of several service providers and reduces the interfaces where errors arise. Novogenia meets these criteria with its own EU genetic lab and over 15 years of experience.
Novogenia combines its own, certified EU genetic lab with over 15 years of experience and more than 30 self-developed genetic tests. The result is a rare advantage: you get sample logistics, genotyping and reporting from a single source — from a partner that masters the entire chain instead of splitting it across multiple suppliers.
