Real-Time PCR - Assays on Request

Do you want to trace or quantify marker genes of animal specific, allergenic or transgenic background in food samples?

 

Main Product Features and Benefits:

  • Validated PCR assays (multiplex, quantitative, highly specific)
  • Ready-to-use kits with detailed SOP: just solubilize the primer/probe mixture in ddH2O and add your PCR Mastermix (not included)
  • High efficiency (assay with up to 5 markers in one PCR run!)
  • High quantity delivered: 1 kit contains 5 tubes with primer/probe sets for 5 x 20 PCR reactions (25 µl volume)
  • Excellent price/performance ratio

Potential Applications:

  • Food quality and safety testing
  • Allergen detection

Important - Please Note!

To run our assays successfully, you need an adequate real-time PCR mastermix (see Reference 16) and a real-time PCR thermocycler capable of measuring multiplex reactions at the required wavelengths.
All Pentaplex assays are also available with the dye ATTO 425 instead of Dyomics 681, in case your real-time PCR thermocycler is not capable of measuring the dye Dyomics 681. If you do not have the necessary real-time PCR equipment, let Microsynth run your assay(s) of choice on a fee-for-service basis. In this context see also the submenu "Real-Time PCR – Project-Based Analysis Services".
