Swift Biosciences Meets NGS Demands by Offering 1536-Plex UDIs

ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Swift Biosciences, pioneers in the development of library preparation and targeted sequencing solutions for next generation sequencing (NGS) in research applications, has announced the availability of expanded Swift Normalase Unique Dual Indexing Plates up to 1536-plex.

Swift's sophisticated design provides high multiplexing capacity for Illumina^® sequencers. Conveniently pre-plated for time savings at the bench, Swift's UDIs are less than $6 per sample and are compatible with Swift Normalase™ technology for streamlined library normalization.

Swift's UDI plates cost just a fraction of what other companies charge and are now stocked and available for prompt delivery.

Swift recently merged with Iowa-based Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT).

"In response to the pandemic, we are seeing an unprecedented number of core labs, genome centers, government agencies, and academic institutions running high-sample volumes, so Swift's R&D team met the demand to support higher throughput sequencing," said Laurie Kurihara, PhD, Swift's Senior Vice President of Product Development. "Swift's automation FAS team is available for virtual deployment to assist with implementation  on a number of platforms."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is increasing efforts through genomic surveillance to track SARS-CoV-2 variants to understand how they are circulating nationally as well as by region and state. This allows identification of new and emerging variants and offers important information to assist researchers in identifying strategies for future exploration.
