The AmplideX PCR/CE HTT Kit* makes the detection and sizing of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene easier than ever. In just a single PCR reaction, the assay overcomes the challenges of adjacent SNPs and variable CCG repeats to accurately and reliably report the number of repeats in one day, from as little as 10ng gDNA.
Features & Benefits
The AmplideX PCR/CE HTT Kit includes reagents to perform a two-primer, anchor-primed PCR of the HTT CAG repeat region followed by fragment sizing by capillary electrophoresis. This single-tube PCR reaction provides a streamlined workflow, enabling sample-to-result in approximately 6 hours using readily available laboratory equipment.
