Invitation | Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology training course in 2020

NGS technology is now being applied to routine clinical practice in various fields, and improvement of NGS library preparation skills and quality control of industry personnel will promote the clinical application of NGS and further promote the innovative development of medical diagnosis in China. It will provide a good communication platform for the clinical application of NGS technology and the upgrading of diagnostic technology innovation, and help the forward movement and development of medical diagnosis in China.

"2020 Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology Training Course and The Third National NGS Library Preparation Skills Competition " has been officially launched in August 2020, and is co-organized by Shanghai Center for Clinical Laboratory and Genetic Diagnosis Branch of Chinese Genetic Society, and co-sponsored by Shanghai Society of Genetics, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital TONGJI University, NHC Key Laboratory of Birth Defects and Reproductive Health, and Engineering Research Center of Gene Technology Ministry of Education At that time, Cycloudbio will bring Stilla Naica Automatic digital PCR system and other related products to the technical training course. We sincerely invite you to attend。

Digital PCR is a new generation of absolute quantitative technology for nucleic acid molecular. With its advantages, it is widely used in the study of tumor mechanism, tumor drug or postoperative monitoring, early molecular diagnosis, the diagnosing of genetic disease, microbial infection, molecular detection of viral load, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, the detection of GMO, absolute quantification of nucleic acid-based standards etc.. The detection types include absolute quantification of DNA / RNA, the detection of unusual one base mutation, fusion gene, CNV(copy number variation), gene expression, single-cell analysis, whole-cell expansion, micro-droplet recovery and so on. Apart from these use,, digital PCR technology is the best partner of NGS. Digital PCR technology is widely used in the enrichment of target hotstops, single cell sequencing and the validation of NGS fuzzy result. First, it enables quality control of sequencing libraries and provides quantitative analysis and quality assessment information of sequencing libraries, such as adapter and adaptor dimmer, wrong junction fragment, too long junction fragment and so on, which is the advantage that other methods do not have. Secondly, digital PCR validates the sequencing results to ensure the credibility of the sequencing results.

Naica™ Crystal digital PCR Technology

Stilla Naica ™ Crystal digital PCR technology is a high sensitivity digital PCR solution for NGS detection and nucleic acid quantitative technology. The Naica™ crystal digital PCR system is easy to operate, with fast reactions and results within 2.5 hours. It is a new and innovative technology that is completely different from similar products on the market, with a unique tri-color detection capability that enables the detection of multiple nucleic acids in the same reaction. It also supports a wide range of genetic testing and molecular biology analysis, including liquid biopsy studies for cancer diagnosis, viral load testing, prenatal screening and the detection of GMO. It is the preferred technology for drug combination and efficacy monitoring in precision treatment.
