synQUAD™ Technology
Genomic Solutions® offers a wide variety of instrument platforms that utilize our patented synQUAD™ Technology which is ideal for a wide variety of small volume non-contact liquid handling applications.
Some of the applications include ELISAs, SPA bead, cytotoxicity, SNP, Genotyping, PCR, Sequencing, and Taqman Assays. Below is a chart which details each of the synQUAD™ based systems.
For additional information and a view of each platform view the Liquid Transfer and Assay Assembly Instrument selection Guide or contact us directly for more information.
MicroSys
Large Scale High-Throughput Sequencing
The Cartesian MicroSys liquid handling system, utilizing proprietary non-contact synQUAD™ technology, automates TaqMan SNP genotyping reaction preparation in 384 well plate formats and consequently has become an essential tool for large scale genotyping projects.
The MicroSys helps to minimizes routine bench work and automate the initial extensive volume reduction gradient to determine if reactions can be performed at lower volumes. This is important since not all TaqMan SNP genotyping assays are the same, with massive variations in sensitivity existing between different assays. Therefore it is essential to optimise the volume reduction before proceeding with factory-style genotyping. Once an optimum reduced reaction volume has been determined large-scale genotyping can commence.
