Embgenix PGT-A Kit (RUO)
The Embgenix PGT-A Kit (RUO) and accompanying analysis software provide a complete solution for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based detection of chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) from embryo biopsy samples. The kit enables accurate identification of whole chromosome, segmental, and mosaic aneuploidies, and yields Illumina-compatible sequencing libraries in a scalable format to support medium- to high-throughput applications.
The Embgenix PGT-A Kit (RUO) and accompanying analysis software provide a complete solution for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based detection of chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) from embryo biopsy samples. The kit enables accurate identification of whole chromosome, segmental, and mosaic aneuploidies, and yields Illumina-compatible sequencing libraries in a scalable format to support medium- to high-throughput applications.
The kit employs PicoPLEX technology for highly reproducible whole genome amplification (WGA) and a streamlined library prep methodology that minimizes hands-on time and the likelihood of sample processing errors. PicoPLEX WGA is a widely applied technology for CNV detection from single cells and low-input DNA, both in the context of reproductive health research and beyond. The entire library preparation workflow can be completed in a single tube in about two hours, yielding NGS libraries that are broadly compatible with Illumina sequencing platforms and allow for multiplexing of up to 96 samples per sequencing run.
After sequencing, cloud-based Embgenix Analysis Software (RUO) is used for data analysis and reporting. The software’s algorithm is designed to compute calculated copy numbers (CCNs) using bin counts against an internally configured reference for accurate determination of chromosomal CNVs. The software supports both automated and manual calling of whole chromosome, segmental, and mosaic CNVs, and data can be conveniently visualized in a chart or an idiogram plot. The software also provides a variety of data output options, including bulk download of results and generation of customizable PDF reports.
