Access Array
Get superior-quality library preparation and targeted sequencing with high throughput, low cost and minimal hands-on time.
Automate amplicon-based library preparation with the Access Array™ system for up to 48 samples per processing run. Access Array generates next-generation sequencing (NGS)-ready libraries compatible with multiple sequencing platforms including Illumina®, Ion Torrent™, and other NGS systems.

Technology
Our revolutionary integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) empower life science research by automating molecular biology in nanoliter volumes. This means using less sample and reagent, and a single microfluidic device, to achieve the high-quality, consistent results your work depends on.
Workflow
1

Prime
Prime the Access Array IFC to prepare it for sample transfer.
2

Transfer
Pipet samples and primer sets into the designated inlets on the IFC.
3

Load
Samples and assays primers are automatically combined in the AX Controller.
4

Amplify
Insert the IFC in the FC1™ cycler for target amplification.
5

Harvest
Place the IFC in the IFC Controller AX to collect and purify the amplified products for clonal amplification and sequencing.
