New Accel-NGS Unique Dual Indexing Kits minimize read misassignments for higher quality results
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, April 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Swift Biosciences today announced the launch of its Accel-NGS® Unique Dual Indexing Kits, which deliver the power and value of high-throughput multiplexed sequencing while improving the accuracy of low frequency variant calling, such as somatic mutations, in samples such as FFPE and cfDNA.
Multiplexed sequencing is a commonly used technique among clinical research, drug development and clinical services labs utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS). The Accel-NGS Unique Dual Indexing Kits are an essential addition to NGS workflows, as current tools can suffer from demultiplexing problems caused by index read errors, PCR-induced chimerism associated with multiplexed hybridization capture workflows, and index hopping on patterned flow cells.
Swift's Accel-NGS Unique Dual Indexing Kits, developed in a set of 96 dual indices for both i7 and i5 positions, provide a more scalable and reliable workflow for a range of applications including:
Key features and benefits of the Accel-NGS Unique Dual Indexing Kits include:
The new indexing kits are specifically designed and compatible for any Illumina platform and are now commercially available.
