Genetic Improvement &
Marker Assisted Selection
GeneSeek taps the power and precision of mass spectrometry-based genotyping. GeneSeek provides routine genotyping services using flexible and customized panels (1-400 SNPs) and unlimited sample sizes. Whether samples have to be genotyped daily, weekly or monthly, GeneSeek is able to provide flexible turnaround time and data quality needed for any application. These types of applications are routinely used in the agricultural industry to make selective breeding decisions (i.e. marker-assisted selection). GeneSeek has several platforms that it can use to provide flexible solutions including ultrahigh throughput applications.
Sequenom® MassARRAY®
Next generation genetic analysis system GeneSeek utilizes four Sequenom MassARRAY analyzers, including the new MassARRAY Analyzer 4 system. The system provides high throughput, faster time-to-results, and the ability to cost effectively run from tens to thousands of samples.
Key Features and Benefits
- Mass spectrometry-based detection system for sensitive, accurate, and rapid analyses
- 384 and 96-well options for high- and low-throughput research applications
- Easy-to-use multiplexed assay design and optimization software saves research time and helps maximize efficiency
