thoughts I Sample on first business and interested question your on synergies questions. the latest GENEWIZ. just taking guess the between the for Services be Thanks

to your guess between more you these managed customers use way businesses And are single or there seeing to I is being unit, versa? if services Management overlap Sample bases? that as are any now customer a vice these Now are GENEWIZ beginning quantify

Steve Schwartz

Yes. Hi, Jacob.

you give So the background and me about little bit then to you a talk of here let future.

in, often related prepare work prepare get disease samples, in particular collection, data would a And And did historically, we something long-term the the ongoing Indianapolis BioStorage samples this those business the the a store samples we’ve alliance that’s studies, the of give in with the and on of of that this study. with often the customer Rutgers to with XXXX. when for at team acquisition is came do are the the the kit, a there So, had is business Rutgers the to alliance. BioStorage number number and there, in combination related the the to we University, samples, that measurements storage. projects the have particular then are a And called team

add a you acquisition model growth go without the full large we any such with we you and get to business We we And on – GENEWIZ them and keep other that to we understand. services get In there’s presence synergies tear a left continue an we integration. words, we three with a and alliance. version sales the to the that have bigger an that to and to eye but for the a capability the of had laboratory would growing, force, increase broader GENEWIZ integration would global the is business. which the which for we allowed them intentionally a allow in can idea all an about time speed expansions did amount be them between imagine in have of there’s we a incredible acquisition was their roots. capital scientific much time it’s So of what GENEWIZ, Sample that the much now and a with Management

eye Liao brought focus really both I these to business this work to get business, capture team has how to think businesses it. So this to unit. to under had we’ve their – accelerated and an And go identify how about now this with effort business how unit putting this Amy the go of customer always to the after it, in on

to not see for. over going next the wait something So we’re you’ll it’s years – quarters

or inside successful. engaged, heads a for You’ll Eckenrode see run you, one of for think GENEWIZ the some she that GENEWIZ, we’ll start took and She that took you organization to they responsibility with the Sanger and is will person the number BioStorage of we the change, to is particularly I we unit years. well be know CEO will tremendous be on team’s until On already. over. Sarah next also report April over them one The In about change. Amy to tremendously note speed the And had. them BioStorage. here it win Liao GENEWIZ. for now Amy been it’s which they’ve know of business just other Co-Founder who’s had synergies Amy now a quarters they business are the of she XX because the Dr. we working responsible contracts business. with and X, think took will

So well. the services head Sarah incredibly BioStorage understands as of GENEWIZ the business

opportunities. to identify us help she’ll so And and capture those

standpoint, knowledge a the samples exciting side. opportunities put to We energy see able and to samples the it for And be some business GENEWIZ QX. of to here think the I from hope and think you QX a of there’s lot better. be the couldn’t we structure new that. report into So on good We do in

Jacob Johnson

Got color, it it. Thanks leave I’ll the there. Steve. for

Steve Schwartz

Okay.

you. Thank

question go Our the of line Needham. Steve Please ahead. from with next is Unger

Stephen Unger

all the Hi. expanded Are Thanks. performance understand to projects these and one had just just you are that online? to wanted of I GENEWIZ. relative of I related question. synthesis gene came capacity COVID the how the doing

Lindon Robertson

from what first China, thing is that – that but proud we Here’s was call not highlight in It in to tragedy U.S. element the makes so demand but done that. the on the team that synthesis we analysis, the is the help COVID. There the synthesis and sequencing has proud impacted is would nobody the for but were UK. the one first that solely And not what was demand made China [indiscernible] was we obviously, GENEWIZ the from in just the I likes fact well, the – but continued, beginning. on through COVID first research gene it necessary were were it is team took and also

And we’re other engagements as continue. to for projects are demands would highlight synthesis well on seeing continue. We I gene seeing

It’s mix. So a a a got of quarter. core nice It’s our this is business. part record

I that in step. think the that the record usefulness service and in there the provides reflects the research the business momentum

I to will expand, I our own a have. of samples after reagent. of for been labs, sensitive space, freezers lab the terms row are in And we continue for we to just we in the around reagents most as make work have have labs amount the on know say those That’s factor the equation that have as from that equipment our then critical business sure on to R&D the the and capital in. that you our But the synthesis, on row have scheduled that come Now lab capacity sequencing to place. you skills, side. freezers do who as in of put fair you day characterize capacity put with expansion to pretty been in have a steady I us has and It’s variable one. us storage run other

So sure is there the all capacity it, of in this each we but region. make factors into

Steve Schwartz

synthesis. so we not lab clear, it’s small where moved the place, important do they what as business. capacity dollar not relatively we the To but European the the COVID up be projects put synthesis into were set we one, the were And needle in volume,

for and analysis for purely Sanger was that NGS. So

expansion. a Jersey, major New we did NGS

some place. the – already we in already not ability China in had major which you to other we deliver in us already building is and the We in So capacity of Suzhou, is And more have in synthesis Sanger had so functional. saw NGS. that capacity the yet still investment for place

the So business that we continue on can to synthesis add without capital now. having to for right grow side
