MassARRAY System
Tool for routine genetic testing and highly sensitive mutation detection
The MassARRAY System is a benchtop MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer that provides sensitive, accurate, and rapid analysis of nucleic acid samples. MassARRAY System is a complete genomic solution for molecular laboratories.
Main features
- Detection of specific PCR amplicons by mass spectrometry based on exact molecular mass
- Multiplex analysis of up to hundreds of mutations in a single workflow
- Highly accurate alternative to fluorescent-based methods
- Single day workflow with limited hands-on time
- 96- or 384-well format
- Chip prep module provides post-PCR automation to reduce risk of contamination
- Short amplicons enables compatibility even with fragemented or degraded samples
- Ideal for targeted genetic analysis including
- SNP genotyping
- copy number quantification
- somatic mutation analysis
- DNA methylation analysis
System consists of
- MassARRAY Analyzer 4 – MALDI-TOF system in RUO or CE-IVD configuration
- Chip prep module – automatically process up to two plates and SpectroCHIPs
- SpectroCHIP Arrays – contain pads for analyte-matrix co-crystalization
- Optimized reagents – simple PCR-based iPLEX, UltraSEEK or MassCLEAVE chemistries
- Application Software for interactive visualization of the data
Applications
- Somatic Mutation Profiling
- Ultrasensitive Detection
- Sample Identification and Qualification
- Pharmacogenetics and Inherited Disease
- Rare Blood Donor Identification
