Genomics solutions provider Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has debuted its new Archer VARIANTPlex Lymphoma panel to boost blood cancer research.
The new addition expands the company’s Archer next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay solutions portfolio.
The Archer VARIANTPlex Lymphoma panel is designed to identify single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and copy number variations in 49 key genes for B-cell and T-cell lymphoma research.
It supports several sample types including blood, bone marrow, and fresh frozen, among others.
IDT, which is part of Danaher, said that researchers can use this panel alone, combine it with other Archer panels, or customise it for specific needs. It can be paired with the FUSIONPlex Lymphoma panel and the IMMUNOVerse BCR panel for comprehensive blood cancer profiling.
IDT Archer product vice president Verity Johnson said: “The development of this panel was driven by our customers’ need for flexible and robust NGS solutions in the blood cancer research space.
“IDT is committed to empowering our customers by providing the tools they need to accelerate the advancement of precision medicine.”
Archer NGS solutions are said to provide flexibility and performance. Researchers can combine pre-designed panels and add targets via the Assay Marketplace or with an IDT design expert.
Archer NGS panels work with various sample types using Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP) chemistry. These include low-input and degraded samples like formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue.
Archer VARIANTPlex Lymphoma panel also streamlines workflows due to the user’s choice of reaction-sized lyophilised or liquid reagents.
IDT provides solutions to support application areas such as next-generation sequencing, synthetic biology, CRISPR genome editing, digital PCR, and RNA interference.
The genomics solutions provider acquired Archer NGS research assays from Invitae in December 2022 for $48m.
IDT’s manufacturing headquarters are located in Coralville, Iowa, US. The company also has additional manufacturing locations in California, Colorado, North Carolina, Michigan, Singapore, and Belgium.
