LGC GENOMICS LLC

LGC Genomics LLC specializes in high-throughput genomic analysis and precision instrumentation for agricultural and life science research. The company delivers end-to-end DNA extraction, genotyping, and sequencing services using advanced robotic platforms such as the Oktopure system, which employs magnetic bead-based chemistry for automated, walk-away processing of large sample batches. Their technical expertise spans capture-seq library preparation, KASP genotyping, and next-generation sequencing workflows, with demonstrated proficiency in handling complex plant and animal DNA samples—including blueberry and ovine genomes. A key differentiator is their integrated approach combining custom assay design, instrument operation, and data delivery, enabling scalable, reproducible results for research-grade applications in molecular biology. The contractor maintains a consistent and deep relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing genomic services that support plant and animal breeding programs, trait characterization, and genetic diversity studies. Their work for USDA centers on developing and maintaining high-precision molecular tools critical to agricultural research, including instrument maintenance and service agreements that ensure operational continuity of sensitive laboratory equipment. LGC Genomics operates primarily within NAICS 541715 (research and development in life sciences), 541714 (biotechnology R&D), and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), positioning them as a niche provider bridging instrumentation, service, and applied genomics. Their focus is squarely on agricultural biotechnology and molecular diagnostics, serving public-sector research initiatives that demand high accuracy and throughput in genetic analysis. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Alexandria, MN, LGC Genomics operates without federal certifications but leverages technical specialization and instrument mastery to deliver mission-critical genomic services. Their geographic footprint is limited to their operational base, yet their impact extends nationally through USDA-funded research programs requiring precision molecular biology capabilities.
