Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Mutation Detection Assay with castPCR™ Technology, Gene Reference

Applied Biosystems TaqMan Mutation Detection Assays are powered by competitive allele-specific TaqMan castPCR technology to detect and measure somatic mutations in genes associated with cancer research. castPCR technology is highly specific and sensitive, and can detect rare amounts of mutated DNA in a sample that contains large amounts of normal, wild-type DNA. These assays are compatible with different sample types, such as cell lines, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, and fresh-frozen tissue samples.

Features

• Higher specificity—designed to block the wild-type and amplify only the mutant
• Higher sensitivity—designed to detect somatic mutations down to 1 cancer cell in 1,000 normal cells
• Faster workflow—3 hours from sample to result

Contents

• 1 tube containing a 10X mix of unlabeled PCR primers and a TaqMan MGB probe
