Overview |
||||
Cytogenetic laboratories are facing the prospect of re-tooling their laboratories for performing aCGH-based tests. The complexity and vast number of manual steps used to prepare samples and process microarrays can lead to errors, resulting in inconclusive test results with a subsequently higher cost per test. Similarly, manual processing of FISH slides used in current cytogenetic tests can also lead to poor test results. SciGene instruments automate and simplify the complex and error-prone manual steps used with aCGH and FISH-based tests from sample preparation through slide processing, for improved test reliability and lower cost. |

“The Emory Genetics Laboratory provides state of the art genetic testing services. Our laboratory is a leader in array based testing for genome-wide chromosomal imbalances and single gene analysis using the EmArray Cyto6000 and EmArray Dystrophin microarrays developed in our laboratory (Baldwin et al. (2008) Genet Med).
We are very interested in automating the workflow used with our EmArray platforms to improve test reliability and are working with SciGene in validating a suite of products they have developed. Recently, we successfully validated the Little Dipper® Processor for both EmArrays and FISH slide processing in our clinical laboratory and have found it to be a simple and useful piece of equipment. It has become very popular with our technicians who previously conducted these tasks manually.” |
