Affymetrix Axiom genotyping solution

Click2Contact

The Axiom genotyping solution from Affymetrix can be used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and candidate gene association studies.

It includes array plates with validated genomic content, complete reagent kits, data analysis tools and a fully automated workflow using the GeneTitan Multi-Channel (MC) Instrument.

It includes: genome-wide human array plates, designed to maximise genomic coverage of common and novel SNP and indels in Caucasian, Asian and African populations; a database of validated genomic markers, including HapMap and content from the 1000 Genomes Project, that can be used as part of a custom Axiom design process; reagent kits for automated, parallel processing of 96 samples per plate - process between 192 and 768 samples per run; a fully automated workflow with validated robotic methods for target preparation and array processing, based on the Beckman Biomek FXP Target Prep Express system and the GeneTitan MC Instrument; Genotyping Console software (GTC) with a genotyping algorithm (GT1) for automated allele calling and quality assessment of called genotypes.
