FAQs
Q:What are the applications of GenoGuard™ assay?
A:GenoGuard™ is a qPCR-based SNP detection platform that delivers personalized genetic reports for precision health. It qualitatively identifies SNPs and uses bioinformatics analysis to assess individual risk. With a streamlined workflow, it provides preliminary reports within 2 hours from sample to result. The platform detects markers related to disease risk, nutritional and alcohol metabolism, drug response, skin health, and more, with flexible panel customization to support broader applications.
Q:What is technique behind GenoGuard™?
A:GenoGuard™ uses the TaqMan probe system for qualitative SNP detection. Specific primers and probes are preloaded into the nanowells on the PanelChip®, with each nanowell serving as an independent qPCR reaction chamber. The primers serve to amplify the specific gene, while the TaqMan probes bind to specific alleles. Fluorescence signals from the probes enable precise discrimination. Validation against Sanger and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) shows a concordance rate of 99.99%, confirming its accuracy and reliability for clinical and research use.
Q:What can GenoGuard™ detect in a single run, and what sample types are compatible?
A:GenoGuard™ supports comprehensive germline SNP profiling, detecting hundreds of targets in a single run through multiple fluorescence channels. It is compatible with DNA from whole blood, fingertip blood, and buccal swabs, with flexibility for other applications upon request.
