Netprimer, a free primer analysis tool from Premier Biosoft International, was recently selected as the Best of the Web by Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (GEN).
Netprimer has a web-based interface to enable users to analyse pre-designed primers.
The primers are analysed for secondary structures including hairpins, repeats and dimers.
This ensures the availability of the primer for the reaction.
To facilitate the selection of an optimal primer pair, each primer is rated based on the stability of its secondary structures.
A comprehensive analysis report can be printed for individual primer pairs.
