Benefits
- Detect confidently—Archer’s unique outlier detection algorithm leverages position-specific data to enable variant detection even at low allele frequencies, while Archer Analysis makes providing answers easy.
- Less QNS—Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) chemistry is designed for compatibility with a wide variety of sample types, including low-input and potentially degraded samples such as FFPE tissue.
- Achieve efficiency—Streamlined workflows for your lab are enabled by choice of reaction-sized lyophilized reagents or high-throughput liquid reagents, while parallel workflows across all Archer panels provide efficient genomic characterization.
- Customize content—Use Assay Marketplace to modify any panel to fit your lab's needs or start from scratch to keep up with the pace of discovery.
