Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology can provide a broad view of the human genome, helping us discover and apply relevant genomic information to human health. Ultimately, this may lead to more accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic selection. Clinical laboratories can take advantage of the benefits of NGS with the FDA-cleared MiSeqDx system.
At the heart of the system is the FDA-cleared MiSeqDx instrument, stringently validated for design and performance. Two IVD assays and one IVD kit are currently available for use on the MiSeqDx instrument:
The MiSeq FGx Forensic Genomics System is the first fully validated sequencing system designed for use in forensic genomics applications. The complete sample-to-answer system uses dedicated library preparation kits, customized instrument control software, and an analytical software package to support the reliable analysis of both routine and challenging forensic samples.
The MiSeq FGx System workflow is easy-to-use, automated, and fast:
