Mimix™ Genome in a Bottle Ashkenazim PGP Son, FFPE Reference Standard

Horizon has harnessed its’ proprietary FFPE processing capabilities to generate ‘Well Characterized Genome’ (WCG) FFPE samples, in collaboration with the Genome in a Bottle Consortium (GIAB). These standards are ideal for NGS workflows, especially the validation and development of whole-genome sequencing protocols.

Product name change
As part of the continuous evolution of our portfolio, we have changed the name of our range to Mimix™ reference standards to better reflect the patient-like performance they provide.

While our product range has a new name, everything you rely on remains the same:

  • Identical formulation and performance
  • Same part numbers and SKUs
  • Existing protocols and procedures
  • Same technical specifications
  • Quality and reliability you trust

No action is required from you. Future orders, product labels, documentation, and communications will reference the new product name.

Horizon FFPE Reference standards are cell-line derived making them reproducible, renewable, and affordable experimental controls for molecular diagnostic assays. They are formulated to mimic patient samples and serve as excellent quality controls by acting as performance indicators for the whole diagnostic workflow.

 

Technical Information

Horizon FFPE standards eliminate the variability associated with patient-derived reference standards, and avoid the hassle of sourcing, characterizing, and documenting your own cell line mixes. Using a proprietary method of mild fixation and homogenous paraffin embedding, we generate highly reproducible and consistent FFPE curls. Our standards yield high molecular weight DNA which can be analyzed in a wide-range of assays including qPCR, Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing.
