NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – SeqWright has expanded its service offering by partnering with RainDance Technologies to offer its RainStorm microdroplet-based PCR technology, the Houston-based genomic services firm said today.
The Sequence Enrichment application from RainDance will allow SeqWright customers to leverage the sensitivity and specificity of gold-standard PCR in a microdroplet format that "avoids the limitations of traditional multiplex amplification or hybridization capture methods," SeqWright said in a statement.
It added that the RainDance system enhances SeqWright's targeted resequencing and whole-genome sequencing capabilities for studying disease pathways, cancer, and other areas of research.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
