Single-Cell Whole Genome Amplification

TaKaRa Bio

The SMARTer PicoPLEX Kits with patented technology is designed and optimized for amplification of single-copy genomic DNA starting with a single cell. The easy-to-use protocol reduces handling errors, dramatically improves time to results, and reduces background. Solutions for both NGS and PCR/array-based approaches.

 

1) SMARTer PicoPLEX Gold Single Cell DNA-Seq Kit

Kit is designed to generate high-quality DNA libraries from single cells for sequencing on Illumina platforms. The kit is based on patented PicoPLEX technology and is optimized for the reproducible detection of copy number variants (CNVs), single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and small structural variants. The PicoPLEX Gold kit outperforms the leading Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) technology for SNV detection.

• Illumina-ready sequencing libraries
• Inputs of 1-10 mammalian cells or 6-50 pg gDNA
• Highly reproducible and accurate CNV, SNV, and aneuploidy detection
• Outperforms the leading MDA technology for SNV and CNV detection
• Streamlined three-hour workflow with less than 30 minutes of hands-on time
• Four-step, two-tubes protocol 
• Highly uniform coverage with low allele drop-in and drop-out rate

 

 

2) SMARTer PicoPLEX Single Cell WGA Kit

This kit uses technology designed and optimized for the amplification of single-copy genomic DNA starting from a single cell. Accepted for use in array CGH analysis as well as PCR. Excellent for detection of copy number variants (CNVs).

• PCR/array-based analysis
• Inputs of 1-10 mammalian cells or 6-50 pg gDNA
• Superior reproducibility of allele representation
• Easy to use and automate
• Three-step, single-tube protocol takes less than 2 hours

 

 

SMARTer DNA indexes Kits
