Scalable Research & Clinical Sequencing You Can Trust

Secure, compliant NGS services for publication-ready multi-omic data generation and analysis.

Why Leading Researchers Choose Broad Clinical Labs

At Broad Clinical Labs, we believe that researchers and clinicians deserve access to affordable, high-precision multi-omics services that never compromise on quality or data security. For over 30 years we have helped clinical researchers around the world to identify clinical biomarkers, de-risk clinical development, improve patient stratification, and increase clinical trial success rates.

Speed & Scalability

BCL’s streamlined sample-to-insights workflow and scalable, high-throughput capabilities support rapid turnaround of high-quality data.

Patient and research data is handled with enterprise-grade security protocols. We understand that genomic data is among the most sensitive information in existence, and we treat it accordingly.

BCL’s expert PhD-level scientific team, CLIA-licensed and CAP-accredited facilities, and rigorous quality control practices produce publication-ready data that stands up to peer-review.

BCL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Broad Institute, a not-for-profit US biomedical research institute with 100% of our operations based in the Boston area.

BCL provides collaborative study design consultation, access to state-of-the-art analytical pipelines, full visibility to project status, and ongoing support to help you answer your specific research questions.

We operate under federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments standards, meaning our processes, personnel, and quality controls are subject to ongoing regulatory review. We also operate all of our research grade processes through the same facility, informatics, staff, and equipment as our clinical processes ensuring everyone has access to the highest quality data.

Fastest DNA Sequencing Technique in the World

In collaboration with Roche Sequencing Solutions and Boston Children’s Hospital, we achieved the fastest DNA sequencing technique to date: completed sequencing and analysis in under 4 hours. This project was driven by our commitment to translate technological innovations into better patient care. It focused on urgent pediatric cases, providing clinically interpreted reports with the rapid turnaround times critical care demands.

The pre-release publication in New England Journal of Medicine details our optimized workflow—from rapid sample processing through clinical interpretation—that enabled same-day genomic diagnosis for critically ill patients. These results demonstrate the potential of ultra-rapid whole genome sequencing to bring same-day genomic insights closer to frontline care.
