Roche Nimblegen has announced that Imagenes has passed the certification process to qualify as a Roche Certified Service Provider (CSP) for Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (CGH).
With this announcement, Imagenes now offers CGH using the comprehensive array workflow from Roche, which includes the Nimblegen MS 200 Microarray Scanner, arrays, reagents and software.
CGH is an array-based tool that is said to allow for the detection of chromosomal abnormalities, copy number variations and specific break-points at a higher resolution than conventional methods.
The genome-wide and disease-associated region-focused analysis on these types of chromosomal changes allows for a clearer understanding of the genome and how these changes can impact disease.
This information will help researchers to develop future methods and tools to better diagnose and treat these diseases.
