Collaborative Designs Carrier Screening Panel

Carrier Screening for pediatric recessive disorders

Cell3 Target: Carrier Screening panel

Accurately analyze carrier status of 448 inherited childhood disorders using a single workflow.

Comprehensive content

Designed to enrich for genes with high clinical significance in a broad range of rare, highly penetrant recessive childhood disorders.

Streamlined workflow

Consolidate multiple technology workflows into one simple NGS assay. No arrays. No Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Assay (MLPA).

Saves time and resources

One workflow saves you time and sample, without compromising on quality or robustness.

Expanded carrier screening

Traditionally, molecular research laboratories have based their analysis of carrier status on just a few genetic changes based on family history and/or ethnicity. However, with the advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) and identification of more causative variants—both sequence and structural— it is becoming not just possible, but important, to expand carrier screening to include more variants and diseases.

That’s why Nonacus have developed Cell3 Target library preparation solutions for NGS. Combining the analysis of SNVs, INDELs and CNVs into a single assay, saves you time and resources and still delivers a comprehensive report on a broad range of penetrant recessive childhood disorders, all from one workflow.

In depth carrier status report from one test

For expanded carrier screening to be effective we know you need to be able to assess a range of genetic variants including copy number deletions or duplications.

We also know that this can mean running a host of workflows from PCR and MLPA to sequencing and microarrays. This not only increases the time it can take you to reach a final report but can have a significant impact on your cost per test.

The Cell3 Target: Carrier Screening panel streamlines this allowing you to carry out targeted sequencing and copy number analysis and deliver a comprehensive carrier status report from a single test.

Maximize sequencing efficiency

By increasing the yield per sample, Nonacus Cell3 Target library prep solutions allow you to run more samples per flow cell increasing your efficiency and reducing your cost per sample.
