BioMicroCenter:ABRF09

Notes from the ABRF Meeting in Memphis TN (2009)

New Products

Agilent

• High Sensitivity DNA chips for the BioAnalyzer

This are particularly useful as they will be able to measure the amount of DNA being loaded onto the Illumina Sequencer.

Illumina

• Upgrade for the GAII - The GAIIx -> Adds 20% more imaging space
• Looking at runs of 150nt per side
• moving to ordered arrays which will allow higher density.
• Currently 20-30 GB per run -> 90GB per run by 2010

Other Platforms Helicose is now out. No amplification required. 600-800 mil. reads per run @ 25nt. (illumina = 160mil)

Solid = 700mil/slide
