LGC Clinical Diagnostics Seraseq 22q11 Female-Matched Reference Material

Jun 16, 2023

LGC Clinical Diagnostics has launched its 22q11 Female-Matched Reference Material, part of the company's Seraseq noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) portfolio. The reference material can be used to develop a new test, validate an assay, monitor routine performance, troubleshoot problems across a workflow, and ensure overall proficiency. It is compatible with a broad range of NIPT assay methods, and uses a proprietary method that maintains native cell-free DNA characteristics such as a size profile of about 170 bp, size distribution, SNP content, and natural maternal-fetal size difference, LGC said.
