 February 24 from 5:30-7:30\nFeatured products\n\n    NEW xGen&trade\; DNA 
 EZ v2&nbsp\;&ndash\;  By reducing FADE artifacts and GC bias\, DNA EZ v2 e
 stablishes a robust foundation for whole-genome\n    sequencing and target
 ed enrichment workflows. Users gain confidence in variant detection\, impr
 oved accuracy for rare variants\, and streamlined sequencing economics&mda
 sh\;all within a scalable\, automation-friendly system.\n    NEW xGen&trad
 e\; Expanded Full-Length UDI Adapters (1536) &ndash\;  As whole-genome seq
 uencing continues to scale and redefine\n    throughput expectations\, we 
 have introduced an expanded set of 1\,536 full-length Unique Dual Index (U
 DI) adapters. This expansion enables significantly higher levels of multip
 lexing\, allowing laboratories to process a larger number of samples\n    
 per sequencing run as instrument capacity increases. The demand for expand
 ed indexing is further driven by population-scale studies and the growing 
 adoption of low-pass sequencing\, which amplifies the need for additional 
 UDIs per platform to maximize\n    efficiency and reduce per-sample costs.
 \n    NEW xGen&trade\; Exome v2 Spike In Panel &ndash\; We\n    have devel
 oped a significant update to exome content coverage across critical databa
 ses\, including ClinVar\, ACMG\, COSMIC\, RefSeq\, Ensembl\, CCDS\, and HG
 MD&reg\;. This comprehensive coverage improves pathogenicity scoring\, enh
 ances cancer variant\n    prioritization\, reduces the burden of variants 
 of uncertain significance\, and future-proofs assays by capturing newly di
 scovered variants and reclassifications. Our Exome v2 Spike-in Panel integ
 rates seamlessly into existing workflows\, maintaining\n    key performanc
 e metrics for hybrid capture. This spike-in option allows easy incorporati
 on of additional content and delivers consistent probe performance for rel
 iable results.\n    NEW Enhanced Whole Genome Sequencing (eWGS)&nbsp\;&nda
 sh\;  Transformative\, single-workflow eWGS process that generates high-qu
 ality\n    data suitable for population genomics applications\, and accura
 te variant detection capabilities for oncology research. By integrating wh
 ole-genome breadth with targeted depth\, and leveraging patented chemistry
  for tunable coverage\, eWGS empowers\n    researchers to achieve comprehe
 nsive variant detection with confidence. This is a transformative solution
  for genomic investigation\, combining efficiency\, flexibility\, and crit
 ical variant coverage in a single workflow &ndash\; while also reducing\n 
    operational complexity.\n    xGen&trade\; Hybridization and Wash v3 Kit
  &ndash\; Streamline your workflow with a simplified\, automation-friendly
 \n    protocol - no heated buffers\, ready-to-use 1X buffers\, and just a 
 1-hour hybridization. Designed for flexibility\, it supports various throu
 ghput levels to fit your lab&rsquo\;s needs.\n\nLead the future of sequenc
 ing.\nBe first to experience next generation sequencing (NGS) innovations.
  Gain exclusive early access to the latest NGS solutions from Integrated D
 NA Technologies (IDT). Our products are designed for best-in-class perform
 ance\, scalability\, and reliability\, keeping you ahead of the curve in a
  rapidly advancing field.\nJoin our early access mailing list
