Agena Bioscience™ today introduced the Chip prep module to automate sample handling after PCR for the MassARRAY® 96-well System. This enables laboratories to operate the MassARRAY System largely unattended for high-throughput, multiplex genetic analysis.
"Whether you are a lab manager, pathologist, or medical director, automation of the post-PCR workflow reduces labor and helps to improve the quality and consistency of genetic testing. Laboratories can focus resources on the most impactful work," said Peter Dansky, Agena Bioscience's CEO. “The introduction of the Chip prep module demonstrates Agena Bioscience’s ongoing commitment to help laboratories quickly and reliably translate genomic discoveries into clinical practice.”
The Chip prep module is designed to minimize hands-on time and reduce the risk of cross contamination associated with manual sample handling. It automates several processing steps, including dispensing and desalting samples onto the SpectroCHIP® Array, and subsequently loading these onto the MassARRAY Analyzer.
High throughput laboratories can capitalize ...
