Seq-Ready TE MultiSample System

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Wafergen Biosystems, Inc. for Seq_Ready TE MultiSample System. The Seq-Ready TE Multisample NanoDispenser provides mulit-sample target enrichment and flexibility in panel design while allowing unparalleled sample uniformity and coverage. While on the same chip, custom panel options are also available. Further, it allows for library prep and target enrichment in a single step with a less than 4 hour workflow. The coverage of sequence data is unmatched due to its massively parallel singleplex reactions. This also allows for simultaneous detection of DNA and RNA pathogens.
