Technologies

Kos Genetic laboratories are provided with cutting edge technological platforms.

Genotyping System

The Illumina iScan supports the rapid, sensitive, and accurate imaging of all BeadChip-based genetic analysis products and it delivers outstanding data quality, reproducibility and dramatically reduces scan time. It can support the use of chips that interrogate up to a million SNPs per individual. The new iScan Reader is also provided with its AutoLoader2 to maximize the throughput to thousands of samples per day. The genotyping can be performed after processing a wide variety of sample types, including blood, blood spots, hair, nails, ear-tag punches, muscle and semen.

Sequencing System

The Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx system offers the simplest and fastest workflow for a broad range of high-throughput sequencing applications in genomics, epigenomics, gene expression analysis, and protein-nucleic acid interactions.

Bioinformatics platform

A personalised IT platform has been built by internal biostatistics and bioinformatics experts, in partnership with several companies and institutions, like Softeco Sismat s.p.a., UniMi and CNR. This platform, which includes several predictive algorithms developed internally, is routinely used for genomic and post genomic data analysis. Our website http://www.biogeninsight.com gives a short overview of our bioinformatics platform.
