SNP-genotyping

By introducing Sequenom’s MassARRAY Analyser for use in DNA analysis, ATLAS Biolabs GmbH aims to expand its range of services in molecular genetics. Sequenom’s innovative MassARRAY system comprises a high-throughput platform which utilises matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The system can be used for validating potential biomarkers identified by next-generation sequencing, for fine mapping of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and for applications that employ defined SNP panels. The exceptional flexibility of the system allows for the quick adoption of newly discovered biomarkers into novel or existing biomarker panels.
