Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center where talented experts work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity. And sometimes we find answers to big questions in very small samples.
Argonne’s Environmental Sample Preparation and Sequencing Facility (ESPSF), part of the Biosciences division, specializes in preparing and analyzing samples to gain a better understanding of the natural world. They conduct nucleic acid extraction, library preparation and ultrahigh throughput sequencing to give researchers from around the world a deeper understanding of rare or complex genetic material.
According to Sarah Owens, the Sequencing Laboratory Manager, “Argonne has a culture of openness, a broad range of expertise, and an investment in the tools and strategies that give us the ability to find what researchers need.”

ABOUT ARGONNE
Argonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology. The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit the Office of Science website.
