For more than 30 years, BaseClear has helped organizations turn biological samples into reliable, actionable insights that accelerate research, product development, manufacturing, and regulatory decisions.
BaseClear helps organizations transform biological samples into reliable, actionable insights that support research, product development, manufacturing, quality control, and regulatory decision-making. Whether you are developing a new biopharmaceutical, optimizing a microbial production process, investigating a microbiome, or characterizing a cell line, you need more than data alone. You need accurate results, expert interpretation, and a partner who understands the scientific, operational, and regulatory challenges of your project. BaseClear provides the genomics, molecular biology, and quality solutions needed to help clients make confident decisions and accelerate innovation.
What makes BaseClear distinctive is the combination of more than 30 years of genomics expertise with modern sequencing platforms, qPCR, digital PCR, laboratory automation, bioinformatics, and GMP-compliant quality systems. We take a customer-centric approach, tailoring workflows to each project while providing dedicated project management, transparent communication, and end-to-end support from sample receipt to final report. By combining scientific depth with operational excellence, BaseClear delivers high-quality, reproducible results that help clients move projects forward faster and with greater confidence.
Founded in 1993 by Bas Reichert and Erna Barel, BaseClear was established with the vision of making advanced DNA sequencing technologies accessible to scientists and innovators. As one of the pioneers in DNA sequencing services in Europe, the company built its reputation on Sanger sequencing and microbial genomics, supporting researchers long before genomics became a mainstream technology. Over the past three decades, BaseClear has continuously expanded its capabilities, evolving from a sequencing provider into a trusted genomics and quality solutions partner for organizations worldwide.
Today, from its headquarters in the Leiden Bio Science Park, BaseClear supports biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, food, feed, industrial, environmental, and academic organizations with a comprehensive portfolio that includes genomics, microbiome analysis, qPCR, digital PCR, GMP-compliant testing, advanced bioinformatics, and laboratory automation. While technologies have evolved dramatically since the company’s founding, BaseClear’s mission remains unchanged: helping clients generate reliable biological insights that accelerate innovation, improve quality, and support better decision-making.
We envision a world where biological innovation can advance with confidence, supported by reliable data, robust quality systems, and deep scientific expertise. As genomics and biotechnology continue to transform healthcare, food production, industrial processes, and environmental sustainability, BaseClear aims to be a trusted partner that helps organizations bring innovations to market safely, responsibly, and efficiently.
Our mission is to provide expert genomics and quality solutions that help clients ensure the safety, integrity, and quality of their biological products, processes, and research. By combining advanced sequencing technologies, molecular biology, bioinformatics, laboratory automation, and GMP-compliant quality systems, we deliver actionable insights that enable better decisions, accelerate innovation, and support regulatory confidence throughout the product lifecycle.
Since 1993, BaseClear has helped organizations translate biological samples into actionable insights. Our decades of experience span microbial genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and quality control, providing clients with both scientific depth and practical guidance.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. With a GMP license, ISO 17025 accreditation, ISO 27001 certification, regulatory-compliant services, and validated workflows, we help clients generate reliable data that supports research, product development, manufacturing, and regulatory decision-making.
BaseClear combines laboratory services, sequencing, qPCR, digital PCR, bioinformatics, project management, and reporting within a single integrated workflow. Clients benefit from a streamlined experience, faster turnaround times, and a single partner responsible for the entire process.
We continuously invest in the latest sequencing, automation, and molecular biology technologies, including Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, Ultima Genomics, qPCR, digital PCR, and advanced laboratory automation. This lets us select the most appropriate technology for each project rather than forcing every challenge onto a single platform.
We believe successful projects are built on collaboration. Our dedicated project managers, scientists, and technical experts work closely with clients to understand their objectives, provide expert advice, and deliver solutions tailored to their scientific, operational, and regulatory requirements.
At BaseClear, our strength lies in the expertise and dedication of our people. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in genomics, microbiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, quality systems, and project management. Together, we help clients translate complex biological questions into reliable data, actionable insights, and confident decisions. From routine analyses to highly customized projects, our experts combine scientific knowledge with practical experience to deliver reliable results and actionable insights.
What sets our team apart is the combination of deep technical expertise and a strong customer focus. Our scientists understand both the biology behind the question and the technologies required to answer it, while our project managers ensure clear communication, transparency, and smooth project execution. Whether supporting a biotechnology start-up, a global biopharmaceutical company, a food producer, or an academic research institute, our team is committed to helping clients achieve their objectives through scientific excellence, quality, and partnership.
Continuous learning and innovation are central to our culture. Our experts stay at the forefront of developments in genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, qPCR, digital PCR, and laboratory automation, ensuring that clients benefit from the latest technologies and best practices. Together, we share a common goal: transforming biological data into trusted insights that advance science, improve quality, and accelerate innovation.
