OGT launches Cytosure ISCA aCGH arrays

An OGT Oxford Gene Technology product story

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Feb 4, 2010

Oxford Gene Technology has introduced three Cytosure ISCA aCGH arrays, designed to meet all resolution, multiplexing and budget requirements.

Designed in collaboration with the International Standard Cytogenomic Array (ISCA) Consortium, the 8 x 60k, 4 x 180k and 4 x 44k Cytosure ISCA formats provide arrays focusing on disease- and syndrome-associated genome regions, in addition to offering whole-genome coverage.

Using a 60-mer probe design and multiple rounds of optimisation, the Cytosure ISCA aCGH arrays ensure reliability and confident detection of genetic aberrations with high signal-to-noise ratios.

Each Cytosure array is accompanied with the user-centric Cytosure Interpret analysis software, enabling translation of data into meaningful results.

Features include the Accelerate workflow, for customisable automation of routine data analysis, and full integration with existing data and publicly available cytogenetics databases, including the Database of Genomic Variants and Decipher.
