  • Infinium Global Screening Array v4.0 requires 100 ng of input DNA, requiring only half the input amount required for the Infinium Global Screening Array v3.0

Key features

  • Approximately 650K markers that span the human genome

  • 48-sample BeadChip built for high-throughput laboratories

  • Automated, scalable workflow with a 2–2.5-day turnaround time

  • 50K marker custom add-on capacity enables flexibility

  • BeadChips built on Infinium EX format compatible with powerful liquid handling instruments running most advanced software

Optimized global content

Genome-wide content in v4.0 includes variants with established disease associations, relevant pharmacogenomics markers, and curated exonic content derived from ClinVar, NHGRI, PharmGKB, and ExAC databases.

Widely adopted

Over 30 million samples of the Global Screening Array have been ordered by researchers, healthcare networks, consumer genomics companies, and genomic service providers.

Broad applications

Precision medicine research initiatives around the world use the Global Screening Array to study disease risk, stratify samples, and incentivize participation across a large variety of clinical applications.

Required Products

The main difference between each Infinium Global Screening Array-48 Kit is the number of samples supported with the provided reagents. Select from kits with a “+” designation when custom content is needed for the array.

Customers will need the iScan System, Infinium Automated Pipetting System with ILASS, and an Infinium EX/XT Starter Kit 220V or Infinium EX/XT Starter Kit 110V.

The Infinium Amplification System is optional but can be added to enable automation of the pre-amplification steps in the workflow.

Standard Infinium accessories (e.g., Te-Flow chamber, hybridization oven, etc.)

FAQ

You will need the following products:

  • iScan System
  • Infinium EX array kit, such as the Global Screening Array-48 v4.0 kit
  • Infinium Automated Pipetting System with ILASS, to be used for post-amplification steps
  • Infinium Amplification System (Optional), to be used to automate pre-PCR steps (WGA)
  • Infinium EX/XT starter kit

Throughput:

  • The ability to run 48 samples per BeadChip on Infinium Global Screening Array-48 Kit and scale up to 11,520 samples per week
  • iScan System with Infinium liquid handler instruments can scale up to hundreds of thousands of samples per year 

Automation:
Illumina Lab Automation Software Solution (ILASS) guides the user through the steps of the workflow via an intuitive user interface and provides on-deck validation, meaning the consumables loaded on the liquid handling robots are verified prior to use regardless of whether the customer is using LIMS. Real-time integration with cloud-based Clarity LIMS supports compliance with eSignature capability, audit trails, reagent and lot tracking, preset protocols, and privacy and security controls, which is critical for high-throughput customers.

  • Whole-genome amplification step is 3 hr for Infinium EX compared with 24 hr for legacy Infinium workflows, reducing total workflow time by 20%
  • Input DNA required for Infinium EX genotyping workflow is 100 ng compared with 200 ng for legacy workflows
  • Reagents are EH&S-friendly and formamide free
  • ILASS provides an improved UI and support experience
  • Updated automation and software allow integration with cloud-based analysis

Both arrays feature a multiethnic genome-wide backbone with content for population studies, variant screening, and precision medicine research. In addition to this, Infinium Global Clinical Research Array-24 v1.0 covers additional clinical research markers from ACMG 73 and gnomAD exome to increase coverage of underrepresented populations.
