The UW-Madison Biotechnology Center is currently open and following the university’s COVID-19 Response regarding campus operations.
The iScan System is a cutting-edge, dedicated array scanner that supports rapid, sensitive, and accurate imaging of Illumina’s array-based genetic analysis products. The iScan System supports the Infinium-genotyping, genome-wide Association (GWAS) and Methylation assays that come in a variety of multi-sample BeadChip formats.
