BeadStudio Portal




Special Alert!
Due to the precise clustering of the Infinium assay, we have always recommended a GenCall score cutoff of 0.15 and that is something we continue to recommend for the HumanCNV370-Duo and Human1M BeadChips. The user should adjust the GenCall score cutoff in BeadStudio3.1 from 0.25 to 0.15 when they are analyzing their data from these products.
