Featured products

• NEW xGen™ DNA EZ v2 – By reducing FADE artifacts and GC bias, DNA EZ v2 establishes a robust foundation for whole-genome sequencing and targeted enrichment workflows. Users gain confidence in variant detection, improved accuracy for rare variants, and streamlined sequencing economics—all within a scalable, automation-friendly system.
• NEW xGen™ Expanded Full-Length UDI Adapters (1536) – As whole-genome sequencing continues to scale and redefine throughput expectations, we have introduced an expanded set of 1,536 full-length Unique Dual Index (UDI) adapters. This expansion enables significantly higher levels of multiplexing, allowing laboratories to process a larger number of samples per sequencing run as instrument capacity increases. The demand for expanded indexing is further driven by population-scale studies and the growing adoption of low-pass sequencing, which amplifies the need for additional UDIs per platform to maximize efficiency and reduce per-sample costs.
• NEW xGen™ Exome v2 Spike In Panel – We have developed a significant update to exome content coverage across critical databases, including ClinVar, ACMG, COSMIC, RefSeq, Ensembl, CCDS, and HGMD®. This comprehensive coverage improves pathogenicity scoring, enhances cancer variant prioritization, reduces the burden of variants of uncertain significance, and future-proofs assays by capturing newly discovered variants and reclassifications. Our Exome v2 Spike-in Panel integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, maintaining key performance metrics for hybrid capture. This spike-in option allows easy incorporation of additional content and delivers consistent probe performance for reliable results.
• NEW Enhanced Whole Genome Sequencing (eWGS) – Transformative, single-workflow eWGS process that generates high-quality data suitable for population genomics applications, and accurate variant detection capabilities for oncology research. By integrating whole-genome breadth with targeted depth, and leveraging patented chemistry for tunable coverage, eWGS empowers researchers to achieve comprehensive variant detection with confidence. This is a transformative solution for genomic investigation, combining efficiency, flexibility, and critical variant coverage in a single workflow – while also reducing operational complexity.
• xGen™ Hybridization and Wash v3 Kit – Streamline your workflow with a simplified, automation-friendly protocol - no heated buffers, ready-to-use 1X buffers, and just a 1-hour hybridization. Designed for flexibility, it supports various throughput levels to fit your lab’s needs.
