28th SeptemberTATAA Biocenter Expands its real-time PCR offerings with the Mic from Bio Molecular Systems
Gothenburg. Sweden, and Upper Coomera, Australia, September 28, 2017
TATAA Biocenter, the world´s leading provider of hands-on training in molecular analyses, expands its qPCR instrument park with the Mic from Bio Molecular Systems. “People come from all around the world to TATAA for qPCR training and they expect getting chance to try out the best qPCR instruments there are. The Mic is certainly one of them and it will be most attractive option for those with space limitations. Also, with no moving parts, the Mic is essentially calibration free.” says Dr. Mikael Kubista, founder and CEO of TATAA Biocenter. TATAA Biocenter courses are arranged around the world supported by leading instrument and solution providers in molecular analyses. TATAA is also instrumental in quality control and standardization of molecular testing, being member of the European efforts SPIDIA (www.spidia.eu) and CANCER-ID (www.cancer-id.eu) standardizing the preanalytical steps and blood based analyses, respectively. “We are very proud of the collaboration with TATAA Biocenter. Now, users have the possibility to compare the Mic with traditional qPCR instruments and appreciate its advantages.”, says John Corbett, CEO of Bio Molecular Systems.

Comparison of WGA techniques for human single cell exome sequencing
22nd SeptemberComparison of WGA techniques for human single cell exome sequencing
Whole genome amplification (WGA) is currently a prerequisite for single cell whole genome or exome sequencing. Depending on the method used the rate of artifact formation, allelic dropout and sequence coverage over the genome may differ significantly.
TATAA Biocenter is a proud distributor of the MALBAC kits and are pleased too see that MALBAC had the highest fidelity for both exome coverage and variant calling!
“The largest difference between the evaluated protocols was observed when analyzing the target coverage and read depth distribution. These differences also had impact on the downstream variant calling. Conclusively, the products from the AMPLI1 and MALBAC kits were shown to be most similar to the bulk samples and are therefore recommended for WGA of single cells.”
