The Illumina system is the CGT's main high-throughput genotyping platform and is fully operational. The main Whole Genome Association (WGA) platform currently consists of two Illumina stations that include auto-loaders , Tecan robotics, computer and IT support apparatus for two complete Beadstation setups to be used for WGA, Golden Path, and potentially gene expression. Expansion of the facility to four Illumina stations is presently underway. The CGT is fully capable of supporting any Illumina based genotyping.

For intermediate SNP fine-mapping the CGT has purchased a Sequenom MassARRAY Compact System including the MassARRAY Analyzer, the MassARRAY Noanodispenser and Liquid Handler. This is a MALDI_TOF mass spectrophotometer genotyping system.

For single SNP genotyping as well as real time PCR, the CGT posseses anABI 7900 HT Taqman platform.
