Sample Identification

Confidently manage sample identity using automated microfluidics

Feature

New! 

The Advanta™ Sample ID Genotyping Panel is a 96-SNP genotyping assay that enables sample identification and quality assessment.  Leveraging Fluidigm microfluidic technology, the Advanta Sample ID Genotyping Panel workflow offers a number of additional benefits to sample identification, including decreased hands-on time and significant cost savings compared to traditional qPCR methods.

Scientists involved in human disease research are increasingly mindful of the investments of time and resources required in the design and execution of their studies. Regardless of the experimental objectives or techniques applied, samples obtained for clinical and translational research are precious. Particularly with complex, multiphase studies, where portions of samples may be shared among multiple researchers within a lab or in collaborating laboratories, the importance of ensuring sample integrity and quality from sample acquisition to final data analysis is a shared concern.

Implementation of a standardized genotyping workflow to confirm the identity and quality of each sample prior to analysis represents an ideal solution to maximize the integrity of study results.

Sample Identification

Flaws in the identity and quality of biorepository specimens produce misleading experimental data that cost research labs millions of dollars in wasted resources, and in some cases to erroneous publications that damage reputations. Given the high price of research and the current funding challenges facing many laboratories, there is greater demand on biorepositories to ensure sample integrity. Yet the biobanking process is prone to error.

The Continuing Evolution of Biobanking

Now more than ever, scientists understand that diseases are population-specific. To support this research, biobanks must increase the variety and number of samples they store. Unfortunately, with more samples come more opportunities for sample identification errors.
