Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the launch of a new chromosomal microarray designed to improve cytogenetic research lab productivity, efficiency and profitability with a two-day turnaround time. Providing insights on chromosomal variants for a wide range of prenatal, postnatal and oncology research applications, the Applied Biosystems CytoScan HD Accel array analyzes the whole human genome and provides improved coverage in more than 5,000 critical genome regions.
CytoScan HD Accel array can help labs increase assay productivity by up to 100% with their existing installed equipment base. The new array also minimizes sample handling and preparation time and requires up to 50% less input sample – as little as 100 ng input DNA – than other commercially available chromosomal microarrays.
