  • Over 1.2M genome-wide markers, including critical PGx variants, replacing multiple arrays and PCR assays

     

  • 100% coverage of priority level A and B CPIC genes

  • Targeted gene amplification for analysis of hard-to-assess genes like CYP2D6, CYP2B6, and TPMT

  • 10,000 marker custom add-on capacity that enables flexibility

  • Compatible with powerful DRAGEN Array secondary analysis

Optimized global content

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

Scalable throughput

Infinium EX format is compatible with the advanced Infinium Amplification System and the Infinium Automated Pipetting System with ILASS to enable an automated, scalable workflow with a 2.5-day turnaround time.

Intuitive analysis

DRAGEN Array secondary analysis enables accurate, comprehensive, and efficient PGx CNV (copy number variants) calling and star allele annotation.

Specifications

Required Products

The main difference between each Infinium Global Screening Array with Enhanced PGx-48 v4.0 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.

FAQs

  • The whole-genome amplification step is 3 hrs for Infinium EX compared with 24 hrs for legacy workflows
  • There is an additional step for targeted gene amplification (TGA) to disambiguate pseudogenes
  • Kits include updated EH&S-friendly reagents that are formamide-free
  • ILASS provides an improved UI (user interface) and support experience

Infinium Automated Pipetting System with ILASS (IAPS with ILASS):
Required for post-amplification steps

Infinium Amplification System (IAS):
Optional for pre-PCR steps (whole genome amplification and targeted gene amplification)
These automation instruments offer:

  • High throughput capabilities: the IAS can process 4 plates in 25 minutes and the IAPS with ILASS can process 1 plate in 25 minutes
  • Efficiency: Use 8-tip and 96-tip heads (disposable tips are provided by the customer) 
  • Automation software: ILASS, which comes with out-of-the-box integration with hosted Clarity LIMS software

The Infinium Global Screening Array with Enhanced PGx-48 v4.0 Beadchip is a high-throughput genotyping microarray for pharmacogenomic studies. The additional content on this array compared with the Infinium Global Screening Array-48 v4.0 is the Enhanced PGx content, which includes 100% coverage of priority level A and B CPIC genes from recognized PGx databases such as PharmGKB, PharmVar, CPIC, and ClinVar. The genomic backbone coverage is based on the Global Screening Array v3.0; however, the 48-sample design ensures increased scalability and cost-effectiveness. This array is an ideal tool for high-volume, population screening initiatives.
