The Type-it HRM PCR Kit provides a reliable solution for fast and accurate genotyping via HRM analysis. The kit is optimized to even enable successful analysis of genomic loci that are difficult to amplify. The kit is highly suitable for mutation scanning and can be used to screen samples for unknown mutations. Development of new HRM genotyping assays is easy and straightforward. Specific amplification products, reduced nonspecific amplification,and reliable results are consistently ensured time-consuming optimization of PCR parameters is no longerrequired. This leads to standardization and flexibility, in addition to substantial time and cost savings. The kit is compatible with all real-time instruments suitable for HRM analysis, such as the Rotor-Gene Q,the Rotor-Gene 6000, the LightCycler 480, and the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast System.
Advanced Genotyping and Mutation DetectionDesigned for high-precision research, this kit is optimized for applications like SNP genotyping, mutation scanning, and methylation analysis. Its integrated HotStart technology and reagent formulation promote high specificity and reproducibility, making it invaluable for molecular genetics laboratories.
Comprehensive and CompatibleThe kit suits a variety of real-time PCR cyclers with HRM capabilities, simplifying integration into existing workflows. It is formulated for up to 25 l reaction volumes per well, and includes enhancer and control DNA to ensure each run's accuracy. Detailed cycling protocols are provided for consistent results.
Reliable Performance and StorageAll components are non-hazardous and easy to handle under standard laboratory conditions. When stored at -20C, the kit maintains stability for up to one year, offering reliability and convenience for routine and high-throughput operations in genetic research environments.
