Start with proof · scale with confidence
Start a Proof-of-Concept.
An efficient, repeatable protocol, proven empirically. A clear, scalable path, ready for automation where you want it. Typically one to three months. The PoC system is your production system.
What to Expect
Two journeys. Which is yours?
Same discipline either way: a small, time-boxed project, credited toward your license.
Journey 1
Moving to NGS
From arrays, PCR/KASP, or a standing start — to a validated, efficient NGS protocol.
Journey 2
Already running NGS
Pipelines working, lab locked in — compare CURIO on results, turnaround, and self-service.
1
Define goals & scope
Scope
One conversation: the question to answer, the kit, the success criteria. Scope sets the price up front. Like all our services, a PoC is a small, tightly scoped project, not a big-ticket engagement.
2
Validate at spec
At spec
Kit protocols as written, generous coverage. Establish that the data is right before changing anything.
3
Clarify the SNP differences
Optimize
Drill from any SNP to its reads. The prior assay, mapping, or read count — causes identified, fixes made where they matter.
⟳
Iterate
4
Tune the analysis
Parameters and algorithms optimized against the at-spec data — iterate without new sequencing. Locked as a job template.
⟳
Iterate
5
Optimize operations
Sequencing depth, samples per flow cell, prep variations, panel or coverage trims — each round evaluated against the settled pipeline.
6
Production-ready, with a PoC report
Delivery
Project summary, decisions made, and the path to automating the informatics through CURIO™ Now APIs and integrations — fitting the automation already in your lab.
1
Define goals & scope
Scope
One conversation: the comparison you want to make, the samples, the success criteria. Scope sets the price up front.
2
Bring your data
No wet lab
Data you’ve already sequenced — FASTQs or VCFs, your reference, your workflow. Often no new wet-lab work at all.
3
Run side by side
Head-to-head
The same samples through CURIO and your current pipeline, end to end.
4
Compare
Your team drives
Results, turnaround, and hands-on time — with your breeders and lab managers running CURIO themselves.
5
Production-ready, with a PoC report
Delivery
Findings, decisions, and the path to automating the informatics through CURIO™ Now APIs and integrations.
