DNA microarray Infinium Asian

blood

Overview
The Infinium Asian Screening Array Kit includes 24-sample BeadChips and reagents for population genetic studies focused on East and Southeast Asian populations. It is designed for cost-effective, scalable genotyping for population-scale studies, variant screening, and precision medicine research in East Asian cohorts.

Key features

• Built from an East Asian reference panel with >9,000 whole-genome sequences, improving coverage of underrepresented populations
• Includes updated clinical research content and pharmacogenomics markers relevant to Asian populations
• High data performance: >99% call rates and >99.9% reproducibility

Applications
Supports large-scale genotyping and variant screening for population genetics, disease association and risk-profiling studies, pharmacogenomics, disease characterization, and marker discovery. Suitable for high-throughput workflows to reduce cost per sample.

Expert-selected content
Content curated with leading institutions includes a genome-wide backbone, clinically relevant variants, QC markers, discovery panels, and optional booster/add-on content for expanded marker coverage.

Scalability and sample types

• Designed for high-throughput labs to reduce hands-on time and laboratory footprint
• Supported sample types: blood, saliva, buccal swabs, FFPE tissue (FFPE-specific QC and restore kits recommended)
