Qiagen has launched Type-it, a product line for PCR-based genotyping experiments.
Three kits are available for genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), microsatellites and mutations.
The Type-it Microsatellite PCR Kit is a multiplex PCR-based kit for reliable detection of microsatellite loci in humans, animals, plants and bacteria using any detection platform.
It allows high-yield coamplification of all fragments without the need for optimisation of PCR parameters and can be used in challenging settings such as capillary sequencers.
The Type-it Mutation Detect PCR Kit detects mutations such as deletions and translocations or for preamplification of SNPs using multiplex PCR technology.
Multiple mutation targets can be amplified in parallel using one protocol.
The Type-it Fast SNP Probe PCR Kit enables accurate SNP genotyping using 5'-nuclease assays.
The kit ensures high call rates even then targeting difficult SNP loci or when using low template amounts.
