Affymetrix Solution For Cytogenetics
The Affymetrix cytogenetics solution enables you to see chromosomal aberrations at an unprecedented resolution and detect uniparental disomies (UPDs) on a single array. Our microarray-based platform provides higher “diagnostic potential” than traditional cytogenetic techniques by featuring more extensive genomic coverage and higher resolution, resulting in more consistent and objective results.
Simple Assay Workflow
The Affymetrix solution for cytogenetics follows a simple assay workflow and enables flexible throughput. Download the protocol manual and Quick Reference Cards to learn more.

Genotyping Console™ Software
Genotyping Console™ software makes analysis easy with simple drop-down menus and visualization tools. The Training & Tutorials section of Affymetrix.com now has Genotyping Console 2.1 training videos, which use cytogenetic samples to illustrate the utility of the various graph and segment data types.
