Thermo Fisher launches NGS hybrid capture assay

June 2025—Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the One Lambda HybriType HLA Plus Typing Flex kit, a next-generation sequencing hybrid capture assay featuring a probe-based design that optimizes read balance and uniformity, potentially mitigating allele dropout. The assay is designed to provide flexibility in testing configuration and coverage, supporting human leukocyte antigen class I and II genotyping analysis across various sample types, including whole blood and buccal swabs. It has a turnaround time of less than 5.5 hours, and the hands-on time is less than 2.5 hours. Data for the assay are analyzed using the company’s Type­Stream Visual NGS analysis software. The kit is for research use only.
