Fluidigm Corporation (NASDAQ:FLDM) will unveil a new custom
assay design service for high-sample throughput amplicon
resequencing on Illumina platforms at this week’s Advances in
Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting. The Access Array™
Target-Specific Primers, when used with the Fluidigm Access Array
System, allow for fast, simple, and inexpensive preparation of up
to 480 amplicons per sample at a time. This capability is ideal for
analysis of large sample sets across focused genomic regions to
better understand human genetic variation.
“Access Array Target-Specific Primers allow researchers to
quickly and specifically amplify their target of interest,
incorporate sample-specific barcodes and add sequencer-specific
adaptors – all at the same time. This by-passes library preparation
altogether,” said Gajus Worthington, Fluidigm President and
CEO.
“With our new Access Array Target-Specific Primers, we increase
the number of amplicons per sample by 10X compared to our
traditional solution. In conjunction with our Access Array Barcode
Library for Illumina Sequencers, up to 384 unique samples can be
multiplexed per sequencing run. This will help scientists capture
the maximum output of their sequencers and provide the broadest
coverage possible for their human genetic variation studies,”
Worthington concluded.
The Fluidigm Access Array System prepares amplicons for
resequencing without the need for any additional library
preparation and can operate with any next-generation sequencer
(NGS) on the market. It prepares these amplicons in just hours,
instead of days, and performs the sample preparation for less than
$10 per sample. In addition, using the Access Array Barcode
Libraries developed for the Illumina, Roche, and Ion Torrent
sequencing platforms, researchers can test the same amplicon pools
to cross-validate sequencing results across different NGS
platforms.
