Unified Workflows

Processing samples via spcfy ensures that every dataset is standardized and instantly ready for analysis.

Curated Quality

spcfy assesses labs for their technological expertise, helping clients find reliable partners all around the world.

Data Sovereignty

Collaborate in a secure, private workspace. You define who owns the data and who gets access rights.

From isolated lab services to a shared scientific infrastructure

DNA Metabarcoding is a powerful method, yet its practical use remains fragmented. Sequencing labs operate in isolation and apply different processing standards, making results difficult to compare across projects. spcfy addresses this limitation by providing a shared infrastructure. The spcfy marketplace is not a traditional service directory. It’s the foundation of a new Metabarcoding ecosystem. Wet-lab expertise remains fully independent, while data processing, quality control, and output structures follow shared standards. This separation ensures interoperability: results generated by different labs become comparable, reusable, and compatible across projects and time.

Common questions about connectivity, security, and standards.

First, you must complete the onboarding process. Then you can define your specialties on your spcfy profile and set the visibility to public. Your lab will then be visible to customers worldwide.
It's simple. You can invite labs you already work with to join the spcfy network. Once onboarded, they configure their FASTQ Entry Points and can deliver data directly into your projects. This eliminates file transfer bottlenecks and ensures immediate standardization.
No. The Marketplace is strictly for discovery and connection. The actual data exchange happens in private, secure project workspaces. As a lab, you control your visibility settings (Public/Private Listing). As a customer, you retain full ownership and define access rights for collaborators.
This is the core of spcfy. Connected labs run samples through spcfyBASE pipelines. Regardless of where the sample is sequenced, the bioinformatics processing (e.g., for CO1, 16S, 12S) follows the same rigorous protocols, making datasets truly comparable.
Yes. The Marketplace allows you to search for partners and filter labs based on regional or technical focus, certifications, and much more. This ensures you find a partner that matches your exact research design.
