Our focus on innovation has established us as the global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, serving customers in the research, clinical and applied markets. Our products are used for applications in the life sciences, oncology, reproductive health, agriculture and other emerging segments.

The Helping Paws Foundation helps keep military families united with their pets by providing low and no-cost veterinary care for troops and veterans in need. Without our 501(c)(3), a lot of vets would face the heartbreaking decision of premature relinquishment, or worse yet, economic euthanasia.

Living Coast

The Living Coast Discovery Center inspires the community to connect with and care for our coastal environment.

Wee Companions

Our mission is to rescue guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and other small exotic mammals from shelters, places of abandonment, and from persons relinquishing their pets. Whenever possible, we offer a safe house to these animals, irrespective of age, temperament, or health status. These animals will receive veterinary care and socialization in the hopes that they will be placed in a "forever" home. Animals given Sanctuary Status will be placed in our Foster Care Network to live out their lives in comfort and with love. We are also focused on educating foster parents, school children and others on the care, feeding and prevention of unwanted litters of these animals.

These educational opportunities are offered on site or off site with a focus on fact vs. fiction and the differences and similarities between wolves, wolfdogs, and your house hold canine companion.

We pride ourselves in knowing that we have rescued some of the most vulnerable, desperate, injured and ill dogs in these shelters. Even dogs that other rescues overlook because of behavior or expensive vet care that is needed. We are a dedicated team of volunteers, fosters, transporters and donors.
