Max Read Applications
Max Read technology can be customized to many short read counting applications to generate up to 1 Billion paired reads per flow cell.
Contact us for more information on your application.
Small RNA Seq
miRNA is typically 18–25 nt in length and can be sequenced with 1×50 reads. These small, non-coding RNAs can regulate many biological functions.
cfDNA fragment counting
Analysis of abundance of short fragments of cell-free DNA can be informative for detecing fetal aneuploidy, organ rejection, or cancer.
Proteomics and Spatial Tagging
Proteomics and spatial profiling technologies with NGS readouts typically use short DNA tags that can be sequenced and attributed to specific targets.
mRNA Gene Expression
Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) is achieved by counting transcripts in coding genes. Short, single or paired reads are sufficient for accurate GEP.
CRISPR Screens
In pooled CRISPR Screens, the effects of genetically encoded perturbations can be analyzed through counting of short guide RNAs.
