Genotyping of Human Reference DNA Samples with Pharmacologically Important Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms using KASP™ Genotyping Chemistry on the Nexar® System

Genetic analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) must be accurate, reliable, and economical to be a viable part of research for human genetics, drug discovery, and diagnostics. To address these needs, Douglas Scientific® has developed a highly accurate and automated platform for SNP genotyping in miniaturized reaction volumes. The study described here demonstrates the efficacy and economic advantages of the Nexar System and KASP™ chemistry for the analysis of human reference DNA samples using five pharmacologically significant SNPs. Results produced in Array Tape® matched those previously published for all SNPs and samples included in the study.
