About Noblis’ Security and Defense Operations
At Noblis, we know that developing leading-edge capabilities to detect, attribute, deter, respond to and prevent terrorist attacks is key to the security of our nation’s future. Noblis is uniquely equipped to model, assess, analyze, predict, characterize and deter the full range of CBRNE threats. This complex mission relies on our forward-thinking, sustainable solutions to improve threat awareness, enhance surveillance and detection and deploy effective countermeasures.
About Noblis’ Portable DNA Sequencing and Analysis System
Noblis’ Portable DNA Sequencing System is a field-ready solution that dramatically diminishes the turnaround time from sample collection to actionable insight by reducing the reliance on facilities-based sample processing and the need for a full-scale high-performance computing infrastructure. The system provides end-to-end sample processing and DNA sequencing of soil, water, swab and bacterial culture samples to identify biological agents in less than 3.5 hours as compared to laboratory-based solutions that take 24 hours or longer.
Learn more about this solution, to include its capacity to do miniaturized sample DNA extraction, amplification and automated library preparation, via the Noblis video.
