How CeGaT Ensures Data Quality in Every Sequencing Project

No matter if you are working with 10 samples or 1,000 – consistent data quality is what makes reliable insights possible. It is the basis for sound interpretation, scientific credibility, and project success. At CeGaT, we bring together scientific precision with operational consistency – from the initial sample to the final dataset. Here is how we ensure reproducibility, scalability, and consistent quality in every sequencing project.

1. Quality by design: certifications and standards
Our processes are based on a certified quality management system that follows internationally recognized standards. Our services are accredited according to:

  • DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 – laboratory competence
  • CAP – quality standards and peer-reviewed inspections for laboratory excellence
  • CLIA – U.S. federal standards for laboratory testing accuracy and reliability

These standards shape everything we do – from validating methods to qualifying instruments, training our team, and monitoring performance continuously. Learn more about our accreditations here.

2. Validated workflows for reproducible results
Every sequencing project – big or small – follows a validated workflow. This ensures that results are consistent across runs, platforms, and sample types. Key quality assurance measures during validation include:

3. Bioinformatics with built-in quality control
Each pipeline includes automated quality checks to detect anomalies, flag inconsistencies, and verify that results meet predefined quality standards. Your data remains in-house all the time. Our lab and bioinformatics teams work hand in hand – enabling rapid responses, continuous monitoring, and optimized turnaround times.

Built to support projects of any scale
Our infrastructure and processes are designed to support research projects of all sizes. Whether you’re working with a handful of precious samples or coordinating a larger cohort study, we provide the same level of data quality, communication, and reliability. Our automation-ready protocols and modular QC systems ensure consistent performance – while allowing for the flexibility required in translational and exploratory research. Our workflows are fully compatible with pharma pipelines and academic research protocols and are routinely used in early discovery as well as clinical research contexts.

What does this mean for your research?
You benefit from:

  • reliable, reproducible data across all sample numbers
  • project timelines you can plan with
  • minimal coordination effort through clearly defined processes
  • results that are ready for downstream analysis and integration

We take care of complexity, so your team can focus on discovery.

Our quality is your foundation for insight
No matter the size of your study – we make sure your data is consistent, reproducible, and ready for the next step. Through certified procedures, in-house expertise, and fully integrated quality control, we provide the reliability your research depends on.
