PicoPlex™ WGA for Single Cells

Reproducible Whole Genome Amplification from Single Cells

PicoPlex™ WGA Applications:

  • Reliable genetic testing from individual blastomeres and polar bodies
  • Study genetic heterogeneity within populations of cancer and stem cells
  • Accurate karyotyping, genotyping, and mutation detection

PicoPlex WGA is based on specialized reagents for optimal lysis of virtually any type of cell and special enzymes and oligonucleotides to make and amplify a library of short, overlapping amplimers. Although full representation of the genome is not achieved, 70 – 90% of the genome is highly represented in a very reproducible way.
