Learn how researchers are implementing our picodroplet technology to profile and monitor genetic variation in myeloid disorders. The ThunderBolts™ Myeloid Panel is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for studying important mutations in known genes implicated in the causation, prognosis and recurrence of myeloid disorders. The RainDrop Plus™ System is the industry’s most sensitive nucleic acid detection and monitoring platform, and the only unified instrument capable of performing both NGS Target Enrichment for mutation profiling and Digital PCR for subsequent mutation monitoring.
Superior Coverage and Uniformity
The ThunderBolts Myeloid Panel CEBPA amplicons are all covered ≥500X with a high degree of uniformity, whereas only 50% of the competitor's CEBPA amplicons are enriched ≥500X with very low coverage uniformity. Typical results inlcude:
- 99% coverage of amplicons at >500x (5000x avg reads/target)
- 97% uniformity at 500x (0.2x of mean)
