👋 Watchmaker is at #SEASR & ready to chat about how our #NGS solutions are helping labs streamline workflows, improve accuracy, & get more out of every sample. Stop by & chat about your sequencing challenges, or to see how Watchmaker can help you get more out of every sample. 🧬

Join Watchmaker at #ESHG2026 for a 90-minute workshop with Dr. Laura Glaser (MGZ) & Dr. Pieter Mestdagh (CellCarta) on improving sequencing accuracy & scalability. We’ll also unveil Equinox Prime & EquiPlex Normalization. Visit us at Booth 256! www.watchmakergenomics.com/events/eshg2...

For the 4th year in a row, our Watchmakers teamed up with #HabitatForHumanity to help build a home for a family in need. 🏡🔨 From painting & nailing to sealing gaps, the team put their skills to work, & learned that “measure twice, cut once” is easier said than done. 😅

Data isn’t the only thing our teams have been generating lately. 😅 Across Boulder & Cape Town, Watchmakers came together to support survivors, vulnerable children, & local communities through donation drives, food support, & Slipper Day giving. #WatchmakerGivesBack

FFPE & cfDNA samples keep sequencing teams humble 😅 Low input. Damage. Artifacts. Coverage headaches. But difficult samples shouldn’t mean compromised data. Watchmaker’s high-efficiency #NGS library prep solutions help maximize usable insights from challenging samples. 🔑🧬

Why are developers switching from LAMP to RPA for point-of-care testing? RPA offers simpler 2-primer design, lower temps (~40°C), results in <10 min, strong inhibitor tolerance, & easier multiplexing - even from crude samples. More in the comments. #MolecularDiagnostics #RPA

We’re headed to Santa Fe for the 20th Annual #SFAFMeeting, a uniquely technical genomics meeting built around real discussion between academia, industry, & government. Excited to talk sequencing performance, scaling workflows, & multiomic data. If you’re there, Sara & Frankie would love to connect!

What’s it like to work at Watchmaker? Fast-moving, collaborative, and focused on solving hard problems in genomics. We’re hiring curious, driven people who want to build meaningful things alongside a smart, supportive team. Open roles in the comments. #Hiring
