AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand

Tailor panel designs for human disease research efficiently and conveniently by selecting from a catalog of over 5,000 pretested genes.

Key features and benefits

Simplified panel creation

With the simple user interface, robust algorithms, and dynamic feedback provided by DesignStudio, On-Demand Panels can be created easily.

Pretested content

Fuel your study with optimized and tested content in numerous genetic disease research areas.

Content flexibility

Design panels with 1–500 genes and 24–15,000 amplicons.

Streamlined data analysis

Perform secondary analysis workflows in the cloud via BaseSpace Sequence Hub or on-instrument via Local Run Manager.

Low-input sample types

Obtain high-quality data with high coverage uniformity even with minimal input from challenging sample types like formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue.

Fast library prep

Prepare an on-target, high-uniformity amplified library in as little as 5 hours with just 1.5 hours of hands-on time.

How AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand Panels work

To create your AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand Panel, use DesignStudio Assay Design Tool to select parameters like assay type, species, sample type, and maximum amplicon length. Add your targets using genes or coordinates of interests. Receive, review, and adjust your design before ordering your custom PCR-based library prep assay.

Libraries are prepared using multiplexed PCR amplification of your targets prior to sequencing on an Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) system using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry. You can analyze data on the cloud with the DRAGEN Amplicon pipeline or on-instrument with Local Run Manager to get accurate results without extensive bioinformatics resources.

AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand Panel FAQ

Sign up for or log in to DesignStudio Assay Design Tool to start a new design. Select a preloaded reference genome, then add in your genomic regions of interest. If you like the content from AmpliSeq for Illumina Ready-to-Use or Community Panels, you can directly upload Product Manifest Files into the DesignStudio tool as a starting point for further customization. Learn more about .

You can pool up to 96 samples per sequencing run with integrated sample barcodes. The actual number of samples that can be pooled depends on the number of amplicons and the desired depth of coverage. DesignStudio Assay Design Tool features an online calculator to inform these parameters.

AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand Panels are tailored panels for germline analysis in human disease research, selected from a catalog of over 5000 pre-tested genes. AmpliSeq for Illumina Custom Panels are fully personalized and optimized content for your targets of interest, for germline or somatic analysis. You can start with your custom target list, or you can modify an AmpliSeq for Illumina Ready-to-Use or Community Panel.

Yes, all > 5000 available genes have been tested in an actual sequencing run on the NextSeq 550 Sequencing System, allowing you to confidently select the content you need for your research.
