QIAseq booster panels are designed to elevate the performance and adaptability of your DNA sequencing experiments through targeted enhancements. Booster panels are pools of up to 100 region-specific primers that integrate seamlessly with existing catalog or custom panels. They serve two main functions:

Boosting coverage: Strengthen the coverage of potentially underrepresented genomic regions.

Augmenting targets: Expand the panel’s scope by adding new genomic regions of interest as your research needs evolve.

Top 5 benefits of booster panels

1. Enhanced performance: Use booster panels to improve the performance of certain primers, resulting in more comprehensive and uniform coverage across your target regions.
2. Greater flexibility: Customize your sequencing experiments by adding new targets or improving coverage where needed, without having to redesign your panel from scratch.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Save time and resources by extending or improving your existing panels instead of purchasing or developing entirely new ones.
4. Optimized coverage for challenging regions: If you encounter difficult-to-sequence areas, such as GC-rich regions, booster panels can help you achieve more complete coverage.
5. Simple integration: Delivered as a single pool, the booster panel can be easily spiked into your existing panel, making your experimental workflow more efficient.
