CD Genomics Announces MassARRAY Systems for Cost-effective SNP Genotyping

SHIRLEY, NY – Dec 11, 2020 - CD Genomics, an internationally leading provider of microbial testing services, microbial genomics services, and integrated bioinformatics services for hospitals, food, diagnostics, pharma, agriculture, biotechnology, and research institutes, announces advanced MassARRAY systems to provide customer with efficient and cost-effective SNP genotyping.
 
The MassARRAY system is based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The PCR amplified product was added with SNP sequence-specific extension primers to extend 1 base at the SNP site. MassARRAY has been widely used in cancer research, genetic analysis, molecular diagnosis and pharmacy. The basic principle of the MassARRAY system is matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technology, which has extremely high specificity and sensitivity. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry technology with different detection and software modules can realize the research or application of SNP genotyping, gene expression research, copy number variation, gene methylation analysis, pathogen typing and prenatal diagnosis on one platform.
 
“MassARRAY system occupies an important position in SNP typing, and it is a cost-effective mid-to-high-throughput SNP typing detection system on the market. This technology has been widely used in genetic mutation detection, routine genetic analysis, linkage studies, and subsequent validation of GWAS studies. Various applications such as SNP, DNA methylation, gene expression quantification, and sequence alignment can be analyzed by MassARRAY.” commented vice president of CD Genomics.
 
What are the advantages of MassARRAY service at CD Genomics?
* Reliable and accurate: This method is based on the combination of PCR and mass spectrometry. The principle is classic and simple, and the instrument is stable and sensitive. The test standard is quality change.
* High sample throughput: This method can perform multiple detections of 384 samples on a single chip, and each reaction well can achieve up to 40 reactions and can analyze up to 100,000 genotypes per day.
* More flexible: NGS must gather enough sample numbers to make full use of the amount of data obtained on each machine. From the perspective of data amount, Massarray does not have the minimum sample number required for a single test. Ability to quickly and easily modify an existing panel.
* Low cost per SNP.
* MassARRAY system can be used to analyze SNP, DNA methylation, gene expression quantification, and sequence alignment.
 
“CD Genomics concentrates on supplying the high-quality services and products for labs and research institutes. We guarantee the developed products and services, which are customized, can meet the demands of our clients, who believe in our scientists and CD Genomics” said Dr. Charlie.
