Amp-Seq overview

The patent pending LGC Biosearch Technologies Amp-Seq method was developed in collaboration with the agricultural biotechnology industry to ensure it meets the highest standards in industrial genotyping. The unprecedented workflow simplicity and scalability enables a frameshift in throughput that can drive the pace of breeding programs to exceed expectations in reducing time to bring new traits to the market.

The high SNP call rates and concordance versus alternative methods facilitates transitioning to Amp-Seq while retaining expected data comparability and reproducibility. Additionally, the robustness of the method drives increased evenness of coverage and compatibility with a variety of sample types and preparation methods, which in turn guarantees significant workflow cost reductions.
