Following the launch of its Cytochip Focus arrays for haematological and constitutional research, Bluegnome has announced the release of its first oligo array solution for cytogenics.
The arrays will be produced by Agilent Technologies.
With an overall resolution of up to 35Kb, and a focus on genomic regions known to be associated with constitutional genetic disorders, the Cytochip Oligo array is ideal for cytogenetics applications where high resolution is required.
The oligos on the arrays have been designed and empirically validated to deliver improved signal to noise with both high- and low-quality samples.
The arrays will form a part of Bluegnome's solution for cytogenetics, including Bac arrays, consumables packs and confirmatory Fish probes.
Users of the platform will have access to Bluegnome's Bluefuse Multi software, which provides a complete sample and experiment management infrastructure, in addition to single-click image analysis, normalisation, visualisation and reporting.
Critically, Bluefuse Multi allows users to easily search their own Bac and oligo array data, and also online databases, to determine regions of likely polymorphism in the genome with a minimum of time-consuming manual searching of online databases.
