KAPA - Targeted Enrichment

kapa-logo.pngRoche are excited to bring a new and upgraded target enrichment solution to the market that will enable researchers to achieve higher result confidence with increased sequencing efficiency. The upgraded KAPA Target Enrichment Portfolio combines Roche's renowned design, content and NGS Sample Prep Reagents expertise, to deliver superior capture and sequencing uniformity, fewer PCR duplicates and deeper target coverage through our streamlined and fully automatable Sample Preparation workflow.

The KAPA Targeted Enrichment Portfolio consists of the following offerings:

HyperDesign Tool 

A user-friendly online web interface supporting in-silico (probe selection) custom design preparation based on user input regions. It supports both user-directed automatic design preparations or expert designer assisted design preparations.

kapa-diagram-2.pngOne of the key factors that drove Roche to improve their Targeted Enrichment Portfolio is the ability to provide researchers with a workflow that they could support from start to finish. i.e. Sample preparation through to library preparation, then target enrichment and then the results. The trusted KAPA brand of library prep reagents can be used seamlessly upfront of capture to provide researchers with a complete workflow.

Getting Started

1. First, you will need to get a HyperDesign account to make your design.

Already an existing customer and have a NimbleDesign Account? No need to worry, if you had a NimbleDesign account, your previous designs will be transferred to the new HyperDesign Tool, so when you log in you'll still be able to view these. Please note if you want to use the same designs contact us first and we'll discuss the options with you.
Also check out the guide for reviewing and approving designs in HyperDesign here.

New to HyperDesign? If you are new and would like to start on some probe designs, all you need to do is create an account and away you go!

2. Get in touch with us and let us know you are making a design or have made a design and are ready to get pricing information and ordering details.

To help us provide you with the information you need and understand what your requirements are for your project, do let us know the following information:

  • What species are you working with?
  • How many genes or what is the total size (Mb) of targets?
  • What's your application? (eg. Hereditary panel/ Somatic variant panel)
  • How many samples in total?
  • How many samples can be batched? (eg what is your level of multiplexing)

3. It's that easy!
