Genomics has transformed biological research by enabling scientists to analyze DNA and RNA at unprecedented scale. From early discovery through translational research and clinical development, genomics workflows demand precision, throughput, and reproducibility, often under tight timelines and with rapidly evolving protocols.
HighRes has deployed automation, liquid handling, and software into hundreds of genomics laboratories worldwide, supporting everything from benchtop workflows to fully integrated, high-throughput genomic pipelines. That experience allows us to design systems that don’t just work in theory, but work reliably in real labs, with real samples, and real operational constraints.

Genomics is the study of an organism’s complete set of DNA (or RNA), including its structure, function, variation, and expression. Modern genomics relies on multi-step laboratory workflows that convert biological samples into high-quality, analyzable data. As throughput increases and assays become more complex, manual execution introduces variability and limits scalability. Automation enables genomics teams to standardize execution, protect data integrity, and confidently scale experiments across projects, teams, and sites.
HighRes has extensive expertise delivering automation and lab orchestration for common genomics workflows across hundreds of labs globally.
Nucleic Acid Extraction
Nucleic acid extraction is the foundation of every genomics workflow. Extraction workflows require consistency, contamination control, and careful sample tracking. Variability at this stage propagates downstream, impacting every subsequent result.
PCR, qPCR, and Digital PCR
PCR based workflows involve the concentration determination of a known nucleic acid target sequence. PCR demands precise liquid handling, accurate thermal cycling coordination, and tight control over timing and volumes.
Next Generation Sequencing
NGS workflows involve the determination of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample. NGS workflows can take days and require precise reagent additions, careful temperature management in incubations and amplifications, and repetitive bead clean-ups.
