Gene Expression with Illumina® BeadChips
The Illumina® gene expression profiling technology reaches the highest achievable parallelism to date. With this platform we analyze the transcriptome of various kinds of biological samples from human and animal. The Illumina® BeadChips make the analysis fast, comprehensive, reproducible, and cost-effective.
Benefits of the Illumina® gene expression platform
- Whole genome expression of human and murine samples address 46.000 genes and transcripts
- High data quality due to a 30-fold redundancy of each transcript specific bead (confer MAQC study, Nat Biotechnol. 2006 Sep;24(9):1151)
- Highest grade of parallelisation currently available: 10 Mio data points per chip
- High throughput: analysis of 6 to 12 samples per array
- High sensitivity even with small sample input (at least 100ng total RNA)
- Excellent reproducibility
- Competitive low costs
