By leveraging a relatively new sequencing platform, optimizing their processes to offer an incredibly low price point, and ensuring rapid turnaround times (less than a day), they are seamlessly integrating themselves into the workflow of many labs. Mark had worked with using nanopores for plasmid sequencing years earlier — back in 2015 when they were first released to application-only users — and had first-hand experience in knowing that both of these opinions were fundamentally wrong. Because of peoples doubts and the aforementioned reluctance of biology research to rely on outsourcing, Mark said that the early days of Plasmidsaurus — named Primordium Labs at its founding — was dominated by a Do Things That Don’t Scale mentality.
