Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) has been named as a high-throughput certified service provider (HT CSP) for Agilent microarrays.
This new level of the Agilent certification provides official validation of OGT's use of Agilent microarrays in a high-throughput environment and reflects OGT's status as the supplier of choice for large-scale outsourced microarray studies.
The certificate has been awarded following an assessment of the experimental data routinely generated by OGT's high-throughput analysis service, called Genefficiency.
OGT's facility recently completed a 22,000-sample, array-comparative-genomic-hybridisation (aCGH) copy-number-variation (CNV) study for the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium.
This CNV study generated almost 2 billion data points to exacting quality requirements in a timeframe of 20 weeks.
