Benefits

  • Detect confidently—A unique outlier detection algorithm leverages position-specific data to enable variant detection even at low allele frequencies, one of the many ways that Archer Analysis empowers you to detect confidently.
  • Less QNSAnchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) chemistry is designed for compatibility with a wide range 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.
