Sustainability
Sustainability built into every workflow
At Transnetyx, sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it’s engineered into our process. By outsourcing genotyping through our automated system, research teams can dramatically reduce plastic use, energy consumption, and logistical waste.
A 2023 study comparing in-house genotyping across leading institutions found that traditional genotyping workflows rely heavily on single-use plastics. By contrast, Transnetyx’s automated platform uses high-efficiency 96-well plates and optimized sample collection methods, cutting plastic consumption by up to 53%.
We recycle 43% of our plastic consumables, and each run contributes to a smaller environmental footprint.
TAGCenter Kiosk
Reduced emissions with smarter shipping
Efficient logistics are essential for both research and the planet. Our TAGCenter kiosk enables institutions to drop off samples on-site, eliminating the need for individual shipments, excess packaging, and scheduling delays.
Each consolidated shipment reduces transportation emissions and streamlines the genotyping process from plate to result.
