Trident
Biological sampling for the field.
Sequencing library preparation at the source. No sample transport, sample integrity preserved, and protocols simple enough for operators with varying experience.1
- Function
- NGS library preparation
- Where
- At the collection site
- Output
- Sequencing-ready libraries
- Hand-off
- Portable sequencing platforms
How does a Trident deployment run?
A field team at a remote wastewater monitoring site, far from the nearest lab, gets actionable genomic data the same day.2
From the nearest lab in the reference scenario2
Actionable genomic data from the field2
Samples are prepared at the source, not shipped1
- 1
Collect
Samples collected at the site of interest using standard field protocols.
- 2
Prepare on Trident
Trident turns them into sequencing-ready libraries in the field.
- 3
Sequence
Libraries transfer to a portable sequencing platform for immediate analysis.
- 4
Decide
Genomic insight in hours rather than days.
Where Trident works
Wherever conventional laboratory infrastructure is unavailable or impractical.
Environmental and wastewater surveillance
Pathogen monitoring in water systems at the collection site.
Biosecurity and public health response
On-site genomic analysis during outbreak investigations.
Remote research and field science
Biodiversity and ecological studies in austere environments.
Defense and expeditionary operations
Tactical genomic capability for military and expeditionary medicine.
