PLEASANTON — November 13, 2026 -- The Molecular Biology Core Facilities (MBCF) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have added n6 Tec's icon96 system to their targeted cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing service. MBCF reports that the coefficient of variation (CV) in library yield across 10 ng samples fell from 54% with fixed-cycle amplification to 8% with n6's AutoNorm software.
That is a drop of 46 percentage points, or about 85% by our calculation. The figures come from an n6 application note and a SelectScience webinar in which MBCF reported its results. They are not independently published data.
