System is based on dye-binding /high-resolution thermal denaturation which, with addition of a proprietary dye to PCR reactions, claims 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity up to 300bp
The HR1, Idaho Technology's benchtop gene scanning, mutation/SNP detection system, is available in the UK through Cadama Medical.
It is described as a fast, simple, and inexpensive which makes it ideal for individuals and laboratories alike.
The HR1 system is based on dye-binding /high-resolution thermal denaturation.
Through the addition of a proprietary dye, LCGreen1, to the PCR reactions, the HR1 can detect SNPs, insertions and deletions in less than 60 seconds post PCR.
Idaho claims 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity with PCR products up to 300bp.
The simple chemistry and use of the HR1 makes it an ideal partner for pre sequencing scanning, says Cadama.
