ThruPLEX-FD Prep Kit (Cat.# R40048 48rxn, # R40012 12rxn)
- Single tube sample preparation for Illumina® NGS Platforms for Nanogram to Picogram Inputs of Fragmented dsDNA
- 48 Reactions Kit and 12 Reactions Kit
Attributes and Features
- Developed specifically for NGS applications
- Protocols designed for use with difficult samples: plasma, FFPE, cDNA, and ChIP DNA
- Patented technology delivers high performance from sub-nanogram inputs of DNA
- Single tube design results in less contaminants, cleaner preps yielding lower backgrounds and better sequencing data,
- Fewer processing steps, shorter incubation times results in greater daily output
- Stable reagents and simple fast protocols enabling automation
Background
-
ThruPLEX was developed to meet the requirements of the expanding genetic testing market, namely:
- Molecular analysis of clinical samples needs to be more sensitive and more rapid than analysis of research samples
- NGS genetic testing will become the method of choice for existing and new applications
- Genetic testing has to adapt to using less amounts of sample while increasing sensitivities
- Testing must work on a range of challenging sample types
-
ThruPLEX design is novel and proprietary
- Optimized mixtures of oligonucleotides, cofactors and enzymes
- An efficient ligation-based NGS amplification format
-
Evaluated by independent industry-leading laboratories:
- Product meets its claims
- Product outperforms existing commercial tests
- Validated on HiSeq with sub-nanogram inputs of plasma, FFPE, ChIP, and fragmented DNA samples
