PreCursor-M AnoGYN is a methylation-specific molecular assay to detect promoter hypermethylation of the human genes ASCL1 and ZNF582 in bisulfite-converted DNA prepared from human samples, for instance formalin-fixed paraffin embedded anal biopsies or anal swab specimens.
Special Features:
One-step PCR:
Multiplex format enabling simultaneous amplification and detection of the two targets and controls in a single reaction
Ready-to-use mastermix:
Just add bisulfite-converted DNA
Reliable:
Robust
Good reproducibility
Built-in check for sample quality and normalization.
Details
Method: Multiplex real-time methylation-specific PCR assay
Target: Human genes ASCL1 and ZNF582
Built-in reference and sample quality control: β-actin (ACTB)
Calibrator: Contains a standard concentration of low-copy DNA fragments of the two targets ASCL1, ZNF582 and the control gene ACTB – also used for run validation
Sample types: Bisulfite-converted DNA prepared from human samples, for instance formalin-fixed paraffin embedded anal biopsies or anal swab specimens
Sample volume: 5 μL of bisulfite-converted DNA
Total time to result: Ranging between 2 to 24 hours depending on the level of automation (incl. DNA extraction and bisulfite conversion)
Equipment: Mic qPCR cycler (Bio Molecular Systems), Rotor-Gene Q 5plex system (Qiagen) or ViiA 7 qPCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific)
