How it started: Quantify. Calculate. Dilute. Pool. Hope. How it's going: Normalize. Pool. Sequence. Replacing manual quantify-&-dilute workflows with rapid normalization, EquiPlex™ helps reduce opportunities for error while making it easier to achieve balanced sequencing pools

Don't let your library amplification mix have you slippin’. Polymerase slippage creates false indels in homopolymers & repetitive regions - especially problematic for MSI profiling. Equinox Prime reduces indel errors so repeat lengths better reflect biological reality. #SkipTheSlip #NGS #Genomics
