DNA is our core

Its wide portfolio of genetic tests combined with its team of experts makes Agrotis an ideal partner for companies demanding a complete service in lab testing and consulting.

In order to realize the potential of biotechnological inventions, well organized storage of biological samples connected with relevant database information is essential. BioBank AS prepares for this development in a professional manner through our biorepositories and our database for tracing individual samples of domestic animals, marine species and plants, and links to other databases defined by the customer. The company is situated in modern housings in Biohuset, (N) Hamar.

CMSCH is responsible for the national animal movement database, distribution of the ear tags, genetic evaluation, milk analysis and genetic analysis including genotyping.

Once established, it also offered services to the non-thoroughbred equine market (sport horses) and other equine stud books. In 2000, the technology for parentage verification changed from blood typing to Micro Satellite DNA markers. Weatherbys Scientific embraced this new technology and also started offering parentage testing services for other species – bovine, ovine, canine, companion and exotic. As the level of scientific expertise developed in the business, so too did the suite of DNA based services offered, and in 2010 it commenced genotyping cattle using SNP technology. The team quickly developed a reputation for service and versatility and genotyped cattle using the Illumina 7k low density SNP chip in 2012. Its reputation for service has been strengthening over time. Close relationships were established with the Irish Cattle Breeders Federation (ICBF) in 2012 and 2013, and the Laboratory team collaborated, through a research project, in the development of a customised SNP chip (IDB) for dairy and beef breeds, genotyping 20,000 cattle. Weatherbys Scientific has achieved significant technical milestones – it is an institutional member of the scientific body of the International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG) and it is also accredited by the International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR). The laboratory is also approved with Propel certification by Illumina, and has been selected as an Illumina Beta testing laboratory for new technologies.
