BACKGROUND

Next Generation Sequencing makes it possible to decipher all genes of human beings which may reveal genetic variations important for diagnosis and personalized treatment. In the past 10 years, sequencing has paved the way for astonishing discoveries within medicine. Samplix’ Xdrop™ sample preparation products allow scientists and clinicians to target the sequencing towards relevant genetic regions thereby obtaining significantly higher quality and certainty in the genetic analysis. 

ABOUT SAMPLIX

Samplix has developed proprietary products for targeted single molecule enrichment of DNA. Samplix’ technologies are based on advanced microfluidics which in a simple work process partitions millions of molecules in droplets thereby enabling high quality targeted enrichment of large fragments (>100 kb) for subsequent sequencing.
