Dr. Leproust continued, "We're now in a position to execute on the next phase of our growth in 2023. The Factory of the Future is on track to ship products in January 2023 and we plan to launch our first DNA data storage solution as an early access offering in late calendar 2023. In NGS, we expect to gain market share and expand in areas that require deep sequencing such as MRD and liquid biopsy. In addition, we're integrating Twist Boston with our Biopharma offerings to provide customers with a portfolio of services across discovery methods."
