Ambry Genetics has added the Illumina Hiseq 2000 next-generation sequencing system and 510(K) approved Illumina Beadxpress genotyping system to its sequencing and genotyping capabilities.
The company said it has extensive experience as a certified service provider, with a team of scientists routinely processing libraries for all available applications ranging from small RNAs to whole-genome DNA sequencing.
Ambry offers quality data and service as well as flexibility in customising projects to meet the specific needs of researchers.
The addition of the Hiseq 2000 will allow the company to run large projects for its customers while saving costs and providing fast turnaround times for sequencing.
Ambry Genetics has an experienced bioinformatics team that can generate custom reports, providing flexible and results-driven informatics for sequencing projects.
In addition to sequencing, Ambry Genetics offers options for researchers interested in sequence capture/target enrichment by utilising Agilent Technologies Sureselect, Raindance Technologies and Roche Nimblegen.
The Illumina Beadxpress adds high-throughput genotyping capabilities to Ambry Genetics' existing line of services.
The Beadxpress uses Goldengate assays on the Veracode technology, which is said to provide researchers with accuracy, flexibility and scalability for their projects.
The system supports high-level variant plexing and can process up to 96 samples per plate, which can reduce the cost of genotyping assays and deliver rapid turn-around times.
