Some of IMGM's services (e.g. HLA typing) are carried out in collaboration with our strategic partner and sister company, the "Center for Human Genetics and Laboratory Diagnostics, Dr. Klein, Dr. Rost and Colleagues" (MVZ) in Martinsried.

Both companies, MVZ and IMGM, reside in the same building collaborating on multiple levels thus giving IMGM an extended background in human genetics and full access to technologies and know-how in human medical diagnostics.

IMGM selected Roche 454 as NGS platform supplier to be able to generate long-read data with superior data quality. We use our GS FLX, GS FLX+ and our GS Junior systems mainly to generate targeted resequencing and metagenomics data. 

We offer the complete Roche 454 sequencing workflow from assay design to data analysis. More information on our professional Roche 454 services is available here.

IMGM has selected Life Technologies as supplier of equipment and chemistries for sequencing (Ion Torrent PGM, 3730) and quantitative real-time PCR (ViiA7, 7900).

We have a long and very successful history of offering services based on Life Technologies' instrumentation and chemistries.

After moving into the field of semiconductor sequencing, IMGM was the first german laboratory to be appointed as Ion Torrent PGM Certified Service Provider.

IMGM has selected Fluidigm as supplier of equipment for fast and easy amplicon-based library preparation for targeted re-sequencing.

The Fluidigm AccessArray™ 48.48 System is the ideal match for our Roche 454 GS FLX and Junior platforms.

IMGM has formed a partnership with Prof. Dr. Bertram Müller-Myhsok, head of the statistical genetics group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Psychiatry in Munich.

Together, we offer our customers advanced bioinformatics services for various applications (e.g. building of classifiers, genome wide SNP-based association studies, NextGenSeq data analysis).

A list of Prof. Müller-Myhsok's publications is available [here].

Carl Zeiss MicroImaging and IMGM Laboratories have joined forces to offer an integrated service for gene expression profiling of single cells (more..).

In this joint service, we have merged laser microdissection (Zeiss MicroImaging) and quantitative real-time PCR (IMGM Laboratories) to analyze precious samples with an unprecedented level of specificity and sensitivity.

Sirion Biotech and IMGM have formed a partnership in the field of siRNA/miRNA research.

Together, we offer target knock-down technology (Sirion) and off-target effect analysis (IMGM) to address the experimental needs of our customers (more..).
