Celebrating Laboratory Professionals in 2026, and Beyond!
Celebrating Laboratory Professionals in 2026!
As we celebrate Lab Week 2026, we recognize laboratory professionals whose expertise and precision are essential to patient care. Your work plays a critical role in delivering accurate diagnoses and supporting better outcomes across healthcare.
We value the teamwork and scientific excellence you bring to your role. While much of your work happens behind the scenes, its impact extends far outside the lab, supporting every step of the patient journey. When it matters most, healthcare relies on you to get it right.
We are committed to being a trusted partner by collaborating closely, innovating thoughtfully and providing solutions that support timely, reliable results. Together, we will continue to advance diagnostics and strengthen the care that depends on your work.
Thank you for your passion for science and the essential role you play in healthcare. Happy Lab Week 2026.

Sequencing Lab
Join Dr. Mark Kokoris, head of SBX Technology at Roche Diagnostics Solutions, as he introduces Sequencing by expansion (SBX). This innovative NGS technology offers flexible operation, remarkable accuracy, and exceptional throughput, sequencing 7 genomes per hour with tunable read lengths. SBX provides an ultra-fast workflow for urgent samples, converting from sample to VCF file within 7 hours, and ensures cost efficiency through a reusable sensor module. By converting DNA into longer molecules, SBX enhances signal-to-noise ratio for improved accuracy and high-speed single-molecule sequencing with rapid access to usable data. Watch the video to learn more.
The Roche SBX instrument will be launched as Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The Sequencing By expansion (SBX) technology is in development and not commercially available. The content of this material reflects current study results and/or design goals
