Affymetrix, Inc. launched the Affymetrix SNP 6 Core Reagent Kit, a comprehensive workflow solution that provides pre-mixed and validated reagents for nearly every step in the SNP 6.0 assay. This convenient kit eliminates the need for mixing tedious buffers, reduces the need to order from multiple vendors, and enables easier inventory management with a single kit expiration date.
Comprised of validated reagents available from Affymetrix and leading reagent suppliers, the SNP 6 Core Reagent Kit is guaranteed to perform to Affymetrix specifications with genomic DNA from blood, saliva, and cell lines, as well as whole-genome-amplified DNA. Additionally, the kit utilizes Affymetrix’ ecologically friendly pouch packaging, which uses recyclable, biodegradable pouches and greatly reduces waste by eliminating the need for boxes.
The new SNP 6 Core Reagent Kit enables our customers to complete their genotyping experiments more quickly and cost effectively without compromising high-quality performance,” said Andy Last, Chief Commercial Officer at Affymetrix. “In addition, our investment in new ‘eco-pouches’ allows labs to save space while helping to promote a cleaner environment.”
The SNP 6 Core Reagent Kit guarantees optimal performance when used with the SNP Array 6.0, which is widely used by researchers on the GeneChip System 3000 platform for genotyping applications, copy number analysis, and cytogenetics research.
