Product news

Europe’s leading sequencing service provider invites you to booth #100 in hall A3. Visitors will have the exclusive opportunity to meet with a team of sequencing specialists and discuss established sample-to-data solutions for analysis of whole genomes, exomes, transcriptomes, microbiomes and epigenomes among many others.

Stand visits can be complemented with a talk of next-generation sequencing (NGS) expert, Dr Bernhard Busch. The presentation, entitled “Recent Advancements in NGS and their Implications for Researchers and Clinicians”, will take place on May 10th from 11:00 to 11:30 in the Biotech Forum. Attendees will learn more about the key elements of GATCLIQUID, the company’s liquid biopsy-based service for non-invasive cancer research and diagnostics.

Besides NGS, GATC Biotech will showcase its popular Sanger sequencing services with fastest processing times and exceptional data quality, as well as MYCOPLASMACHECK, a qPCR-based test for detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture. GATC Biotech representatives will be happy to illustrate how outsourcing mycoplasma testing via MYCOPLASMACHECK can lead to cost-efficient, easy and accurate quality control of cell lines.

Above all, the GATC Biotech team has prepared a little surprise for all stand visitors. So stay curious – GATC is looking forward to many productive discussions with sequencing enthusiasts at the Analytica 2016 in Munich.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits. Find the best next-generation sequencing products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Epigenetic AnalysisEpigenetic analysis products are used to study heritable phenotype changes that do not alter the DNA sequence, such as DNA modifications affecting gene activity. Determine whether genes have been methylated with DNA methylation quantification kits or methylation microarrays. Assess epigenetic regulation with histone modification kits or ChIP-on-chip microarrays. Kits are also available for bisulfite conversion and amplification of your samples, as well as epigenomic library preparation kits for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Find the best epigenetic products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cancer DiagnosticsThere are a wide variety of diagnostic tests for cancer available, and this range continues to expand as our knowledge of cancer improves. Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.MycoplasmaSequencingSequencing refers to determining the order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. This process is essential in genomics, diagnostics, and evolutionary biology. Techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing provide high-throughput and precise data for analyzing genomes and transcriptomes. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best sequencing tools and reagents, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.TranscriptomicsMicrobiomeMicrobiome research focuses on the complex communities of microorganisms living in and on humans, animals, plants, and environments. It plays a crucial role in health, disease, and ecological balance. Explore tools and resources for microbiome analysis, including sequencing platforms and bioinformatics software.Genome SequencingGenome sequencing involves determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. It provides crucial information about genetic variations, mutations, and diseases. Advances in sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), have accelerated research in genomics, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. Explore genome sequencing tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.ExomesLiquid BiopsiesLiquid biopsies are non-invasive tests used to detect cancer and other diseases by analyzing blood or other bodily fluids. This technique is gaining popularity for early detection, monitoring treatment response, and detecting minimal residual disease. Explore liquid biopsy solutions in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
