ThunderStorm Watch issued for October 11^th

New RainDance ThunderStorm™ System will enable you to process more samples and generate high-quality data faster than ever before.

Fully-automated high-throughput targeted sequencing system 1 to 96 samples per run

Compatible with all NGS platforms
– Illumina’s HiSeq™ and MiSeq™
– Ion Torrent’s PGM™
– Life’s 5500 SOLiD™
– PacBio’s RS
– Roche’s GS FLX™ and GS Junior™ Systems

Broad range of applications: GWAS follow up, medical genetics, somatic mutation analysis, epigenetics

Low cost per sample: high-volume chips manufactured by Sony DADC, elimination of sequencing library costs

Highest quality data: proven RainDance coverage and uniformity
