RDT 1000
The RDT 1000 is the centerpiece of RainDance’s Sequence Enrichment Solution. It represents a true breakthrough for accelerating the targeted sequencing of the human genome. RainDance’s Sequence Enrichment solution plays a critical role in an efficient targeted sequencing workflow. It allows researchers to easily isolate specific regions of the genome for subsequent sequencing.
The RDT 1000 incorporates RainStorm™ microdroplet-based technology to amplify hundreds to thousands of genomic loci with high specificity and uniformity. It leverages the sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology, a tested and trusted process in laboratories worldwide. The RDT 1000 minimizes errors and maximizes the efficiency of PCR by leveraging the sensitivity and specificity of this proven methodology while avoiding the complexities of multiple PCR techniques. It improves sample uniformity for less oversampling and efficient utilization of sequencer capacity. The RDT 1000 also reduces selection bias for decreased complexity and greater integrity of results.
Researchers can utilize the RDT 1000 to either greatly reduce study time, or to improve study quality by running more samples in the same time within the same experiment budget. The RDT 1000 fits seamlessly into any targeted sequencing workflow and dramatically improves process output and data quality. Its “open” design easily integrates with all next-generation DNA sequencing platforms. No other system transitions as smoothly from macro-scale laboratory workflows to picoliter manipulation and back again.
The RDT 1000 produces picoliter-volume droplets at the rate of 10 million discrete PCR reactions per hour.
Droplets are processed on a disposable chip without moving parts or valves for robust operation.
