Avance Biosciences

NGS Amplicon Sequencing Services

Detect on- and off-target edits with precision using NGS amplicon sequencing, essential for evaluating CRISPR, prime editing, and other gene editing tools.

Ensure the safety and efficacy of gene and cell therapies with accurate indel profiling and mutation detection in targeted DNA regions.

Avance Biosciences added the Illumina MiSeq platform to our GMP services lab in 2013. Since this time, we have successfully completed numerous GMP grade NGS On/Off target analysis in support of our customers edited cell-based drug products. With our unparalleled understanding of Illumina NGS chemistry and our innovative solutions for addressing FDA Part 11 compliance, Avance Biosciences stands as a true leader in the GMP and GLP applications of NGS technology.

Case Studies

  • In 2013, we implemented a GMP-compliant MiSeq assay to support validation of a companion diagnostic PCR test. To our knowledge, the first GMP use of an NGS instrument.

  • In 2017, we performed GLP-validated NGS amplicon sequencing for a CRISPR-based cell therapy study, which became the first FDA-approved CRISPR therapy in 2023

  • Since 2017, we’ve designed FDA-compliant NGS amplicon assays and validated pipelines to support clinical and animal studies with stable, auditable analysis environments.

  • Since 2019, we’ve developed and validated rhAMPSeq assays to assess gene editing accuracy, indels, and mutation rates for CRISPR, prime editing, and ZFNs.

  • In 2021, we validated a Mission Bio Tapestri single-cell assay for an HSC therapy, using multiplex amplicon sequencing to assess editing at single-cell resolution.

Improved NGS Amplicon Sequencing with Avance Biosciences as Your Testing Partner

Our team has deep expertise in designing and validating NGS amplicon sequencing assays to support gene and cell therapy programs. We routinely analyze on- and off-target editing, indel formation, and mutation frequency across a wide range of therapeutic platforms. With experience spanning CRISPR, prime editing, and other gene editing tools, we handle complex studies involving large sample volumes with precision and speed. Our validated workflows and contamination controls ensure reliable, high-resolution data that meets stringent regulatory requirements and supports confident decision-making.
