IDT PrimeTime Pre-designed Assays increase qPCR Accuracy and Efficiency

Read time: Less than a minute

Users can search and select from the online database that contains thousands of assays. All assays are designed to span exons, protect against non-specific amplifications, avoid known SNPs, and minimize the impact of secondary structure. Consisting of two primers and a hydrolysis probe, all three components are shipped in a single tube and are guaranteed to provide >90% efficiency.

IDT’s advanced flexibility allows users to select from five different dye/quencher combinations and choose a premixed primer to probe ratio from 1:1 to 4:1, thereby maximizing multiplexing capabilities. The design process uses the most current, clean, and complete target sequence information available to generate accurate Tm predictions and protect against off-target amplifications. Stephen Gunstream, Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, commented “We have compared our product to leading pre-designed assays and found improved efficiency, higher success rates, and increased sensitivity.”
 
PrimeTime Pre-designed qPCR Assays are quick and easy to order using IDT’s unique ordering tool. Each oligo undergoes 100% QC by mass spectrometry and is shipped within 2–4 working days.
