Technology
Genetic testing requires a wide range of technologies. IGENZ has adopted the latest equipment to achieve the most informative results to guide diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Illumina MiSeq
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is our DNA and RNA sequencing powerhouse at IGENZ. It dissects genetic material, unveils variants and decodes mutations. Picture it like a genomic puzzle: we break DNA into fragments, weave in adapters, sequence a library with our Illumina MiSeq and reconstruct the puzzle to reveal the complete genomic sequence. Ideal for small genomes and precision long amplicon sequencing, our technology ensures detailed insights into your genetic landscapes.
Agena MassARRAY®
Our MassARRAY® System is a versatile marvel, detecting SNPs, insertions, deletions, translocations, copy number variations and methylation markers. Its applications span a spectrum of uses thanks to multiplex endpoint PCR a precise single base extension reaction, automated analyte transfer and seamless data acquisition. Precision meets efficiency in a technology that adapts to diverse genetic analyses with ease.
Agilent Magnis Automated NGS system
The Magnis system provides a complete system for NGS library preparation that is fully automated and delivers reproducible results, making it easy to assay multiple genes and complex genetic aberrations from genomic DNA including degraded samples such as formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE).
Agilent SureScan
Unlocking the potential of thousands of genes simultaneously, a DNA microarray is a scientific juggernaut. Each spot harbours probes, uniquely covering a gene region. Arrayed meticulously on a solid surface, their locations and sequences are catalogued in a computer database. This precision facilitates the identification of copy number variants, deletions, insertions as well as loss of heterozygosity – an invaluable tool for comprehensive genetic exploration.
Maxwell Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System
The Maxwell® RSC Instrument is a compact, automated nucleic acid purification platform that processes up to 16 samples simultaneously. Using prefilled cartridges and preprogrammed methods, the Maxwell® RSC offers consistent, reliable DNA or RNA extraction in 25–60 minutes, depending upon sample type.
ABI Quantstudio Real-Time PCR System
The QuantStudio Real-Time PCR system detects changes in gene expressions as low as 1.5-fold. The system supports a broad range of genomic applications, such as analyses of gene expression, microRNAs and noncoding RNAs, copy number variation, drug metabolism enzymes, and protein expression; SNP genotyping; and mutation detection.
ABI SeqStudio Genetic Analyser
The Applied Biosystems SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer is a 4-capillary, fluorescence-based capillary electrophoresis system. This nifty piece of equipment is used predominantly for DNA profiling.
