Tech Specs

The GenoSensor System is a complete genomic microarray system that utilizes patented comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) for simultaneous detection of copy number changes across multiple gene targets. The system includes genomic microarrays, random priming and assay reagents, control DNA, the GenoSensor (array) Reader and GenoSensor Software for automated data analysis. This system is ideal for the detection of unbalanced genomic alterations in constitutional and oncology research samples.
