Genomics Buying Guide
What is Genomics?
Genomics = DNA
Genomics is the study of a person’s DNA, their genes and how they are expressed and interact to influence the growth, development, and the working of the body.
Genomic medicine has the potential to offer a greater understanding of how our genetic makeup impacts on our health and the response to treatments.
Our framework agreement for Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services covers a broad scope of Genomics.
The Genomics lot will allow the procurement of products and services relating to the molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes linked to the NHS England National Genomic Test Directory for Rare and Inherited Diseases (as amended). See our Useful Links section to learn more.

- Automated Genomics Testing Systems
- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH)
- Genomics Plasticware and Glassware
- Mutation Detection Methodologies
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
- Nucleic Acid Quality Control Reagents
