Genotyping
Better DNA analysis begins with the best reagents
Enhance your productivity with reagents designed to maximize the power of your Biomark™ systems and reduce costs. Use SNP Type™ or your existing TaqMan assays with optimized reagents on all Standard BioTools™ platforms.
Methods
SNP Type Genotyping
SNP Type assays consist of unlabeled allele-specific primers and universal probes, making them an affordable alternative to probe-based genotyping assays. Lower price points make it possible to design and test for multiple markers and empirically choose the best. Select optimal assays designed for a variety of species using your supplied sequences. Optimized SNP Type preamplification protocols boost results from poor-quality, low-concentration or precious samples.
TaqMan Genotyping
TaqMan probe-based SNP genotyping relies on dual-labeled probes and PCR primers. Each assay shares a pair of primers flanking the SNP and two or more allele-specific cleavage probes. Proximity suppresses fluorescent signaling until the probe specifically binds to the target. During PCR nuclease activity degrades the probe, resulting in increased brightness. Our reagents support TaqMan assays run on Biomark, EP1™ and Juno™ platforms.
