Infinium XT

Comprehensive Production-Scale Screening Solution

This solution enables large-scale genetic improvement programs in agrigenomics and supports high-throughput screening for biobanks and personalized medicine initiatives. It uses a highly efficient, flexible workflow.

• Production-Scale Genotyping: Optimized assay and 96-sample BeadChip enables processing of 100,000 to upwards of 1,000,000 samples/year per lab
• Flexible Content: Targeted single or multispecies assays of 100s to 50,000 SNPs with at least 95% conversion rate guaranteed for custom panels
• High Efficiency Workflow: Total assay turnaround time reduced from 3 days to 2 days with less hands-on time

Infinium XT simplifies the custom assay design process, reduces overall hands-on time, and enhances automation robot performance and utilization. The workflow offers an option to reduce the overall turnaround time, if the time to answer is more important than maximum weekly output.

Streamlined Sample Preparation and Data Analysis

A high-throughput solution like Infinium XT needs integrated systems that streamline sample preparation and analysis. The Illumina Automation Control software for the Infinium Automated Pipetting System has been updated to increase sample processing efficiency. An enhanced data analysis software solution offers real-time data generation and on-demand QC report functionality so production issues can be identified and corrected earlier in the process.

Updated GenomeStudio Software speeds up genotype cluster generation, reducing overall analysis turnaround time. Also, a genotyping module for agricultural and other applications involving polyploid species is now included.

Production-level analysis can be transitioned to Beeline Software after a cluster file is created. This software significantly reduces the time needed to observe quality performance specifications, generate genotyping reports, and analyze polyploid data, without removing the flexibility for manual intervention.
