PG-Seq Rapid v2 kit

The PG-Seq™ Rapid kit v2 has been developed to analyze picogram quantities of DNA (single/multi-cells or low template DNA) from an embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing. The PG-Seq™ Rapid kit v2 utilizes whole genome amplification (WGA) and next generation sequencing (NGS) technology to accurately screen all 24 chromosomes for whole chromosome aneuploidy and sub-chromosomal abnormalities. This PGT solution is compatible with Illumina® and Element Biosciences® sequencing platforms.

Overview

Fast PGT-A prep: 3 hours from cell lysis to NGS ready

Updated, streamlined, simple PGT protocol

From DNA to data, the PG-Seq™ Rapid kit v2 includes all reagents required for cell lysis, whole genome amplification, indexing along with the PG-Find™ analysis software for automatic calling of aneuploidy and copy number variants used in PGS (preimplantation genetic screening).

Now you can schedule a one-on-one 30-minute online demonstration with our experts to cover everything you need to know about the PG-Seq™ Rapid protocol and data analysis with PG-Find. Please choose a timeframe that suits you best and we will provide you a Microsoft Teams personal link to join when the time comes. We look forward to speaking with you. 

Accurate Copy Number Detection

Extensively tested using over 100 cell lines and genomic DNA samples with known ploidy. Tested from whole chromosome aneuploidies down to segmental aberrations 7Mb in size with 30pg of genomic DNA or 5 cell fibroblast samples, representative of a trophectoderm biopsy. See PG-Seq™ Rapid kit v2 app note for more information.

Flexible Kit Format

The PG-Seq™ Rapid kit v2 has 48 rxns Two sets of 48 unique indexes are available, allowing up to 96 sample multiplexing (or up to 384 sample multiplexing available by custom request). Larger 40 µL WGA PCR 1 reaction volume enable options for alternative downstream processing. High WGA PCR 1 yield of 2-4 µg total DNA with only 23 cycles of PCR.

Improved whole genome coverage and accuracy

Enhanced PG-Find quality scores compared to previous versions of the kit signifies less noise, less bias, and higher confidence. Improved whole genome coverage when PG-Seq™ Rapid v2 WGA PCR 1 product is used in hybridization capture panels.

Additional product information

Sample Traceability in PGT-A

Sample traceability is crucial to ensure reliable embryo classification. This process involves tracking from the initial collection of the biopsy through to the final analysis.

For sample collection we recommend Cap2™ tubes, with 2D datamatrix code, free of DNAse, Rnase, human genomic DNA and compatible with automation.

To track samples individually we take advantage of the mitochondrial genome.

The mitochondrial genome is maternally derived and contains single nucleotide variants that can be used to distinguish between individuals. Revvity has shown that correct grouping of sibling embryos can be achieved in >98% of cases using mitochondrial DNA SNV profiling. The new mtDetect™ web app extracts mitochondrial DNA information from data obtained during the standard PG-Seq™ Rapid v2 workflow enabling the monitoring of external DNA contamination and the ability to detect sample swapping and mislabeled samples.

Figure 1 shows 90% coverage of the mtDNA genome using the PG-Seq Rapid v2 kit without any protocol modification. Embryo biopsies processed with the PG-Seq™ Rapid v2 kit analyzed with mtDetect™ web app can successfully be identified and grouped based on their mitochondrial DNA SNV profiles. Identity determination allows sample tracking and can assist in the identification and monitoring of possible external sample contamination along with mislabeled samples.

Easy-to-Use, Highly Customizable Analysis Software

Two analysis options, self-reference and reference based, to accommodate every laboratory’s individual needs. Multiple visualization features including selecting which chromosomes to view and report, a single check box to view the raw vs smoothed data, unlimited color options, multiple result images. User adjustable event calling thresholds that can be used to designate mosaic, 1 copy or 2 copy gains and losses. An easy to interpret result overview screen allows the results of every sample to be easily analyzed and for general data trends to be observed.
