In other news, the company has acquired Maryland-based Circulomics. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the impact of the acquisition is not expected to affect 2021.

Circulomics provides sample prep products that enable genomic workflows. The company's products are used for long-read applications across a diverse set of markets, including human biomedical research, plant and animal sciences, and microbiology.

The firm has expertise in extracting high-quality, HMW DNA from almost any sample type. HMW DNA ranges from 50 to 300-plus kilobases in length -- an ideal size for long-read sequencing with PacBio or other long-read sequencing platforms.

All customers will continue to receive Circulomics products and support.
