Tools for Next Generation Sequencing

For scientists who are looking to perform next-generation Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequencing, a suite of tools is available from Fluidigm Europe can simplify and accelerate library preparation as well as enable the absolute quantification of amplified sequences.

Next generation sequencing promises to revolutionize life science in fields as diverse as human genomics, species discovery, and personalized medicine – any field in which advancement depends on a deeper understanding of genomic variation and transcriptome complexity.

The Access Array Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC) eases the burden of library preparation for re-sequencing or long-range Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) because it facilitates the amplification and barcoding of 48 samples in parallel.

Because every sample may be identified by its barcode, all 48 samples can be multiplexed at the sequencing step.
