'Ashkenazim Son' FFPE Reference Standard Curl

This quality control product is ideally suited for:

– Validation and development of extraction protocols

– Control in sequencing protocols (e.g. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), Amplicon Sequencing) and PCR protocols

– Determining the limit of detection (LOD) of the analytical method.

– Calibration and development of instruments and workflows in DNA processing (e.g. DNA fragmentation via acoustic shearing, enzymatic digestion or sonication)

– Analyze the performance of your NGS pipeline by comparing to freely available datasets

– Routine performance monitoring (Research Use Only)
