Roche Sequencing Solutions

Transforming next-generation sequencing

At Roche Sequencing Solutions (RSS) we are working to make next-generation sequencing simple and accessible enough for routine use. By accelerating clinical research, streamlining workflows and expanding assay menus, we are broadening access to genomic data and lowering barriers to routine use.

 

Innovating across the sequencing workflow

 

From strong sample isolation and preparation tools to novel sequencing technology and advanced informatics, we are developing differentiated, highly integrated end-to-end solutions for next-generation sequencing, resulting in a sample in, result out workflow.

 

Advancing personalised healthcare

 

We are dedicated to creating diagnostics and developing techniques that are tailored to individual genetic and disease profiles, meeting the demands of research and clinical practice to deliver on the promise of personalised medicine.

Introducing Sequencing by expansion (SBX): A novel approach to next generation sequencing

Roche has responded to the demand for improved performance by developing a new category of NGS technology, called sequencing by expansion (SBX). 

SBX uses a biochemical conversion process to encode the sequence of a target nucleic acid molecule into a more easily measurable surrogate polymer, called an Xpandomer.  This powerful approach to NGS has been designed for flexibility and performance, with headroom to scale into the future.
