KASP primer design and validation
KASP™ has been a go-to choice for genotyping assays by top agriculture breeding programmes worldwide for more than 21 years. KASP is easy to use. Simply add your SNP-specific KASP assay targeting primers (KASP Assay Mix) and the universal KASP-TF Master Mix to your DNA samples then run a thermal cycling program and measure the end-point fluorescence.
If you are new to KASP, start with a free trial kit and get your questions answered by our experts. Once you’ve decided that KASP is a good fit for your application, it’s time to determine how you’d like to leverage our expertise.
-
Primer design: We use our proprietary software to
select target-specific primers and send you a custom
KASP Assay Mix. -
Primer design with validation: In addition to primer
selection, our experts can fully wet-lab validate and
optimise your assay and send you a fully optimised
custom KASP Assay Mix. -
Pre-designed assay libraries: Choose from
thousands of pre-validated genotyping assays for
several plant and animal species. Learn more.
What is the KASP assay mix?
After you send us your sequence, our in-house experts will use our proprietary software to identify the best mix of three assay-specific non-labelled oligos for your SNP, indel or mega indel:
- Two allele-specific forward primers
- One common reverse primer
Aliquots of your KASP Assay Mix are provided in 2D
barcoded tubes in sufficient quantities to enable:
- 2,500 reactions at 10 µL total reaction volumes
(96-well PCR plates) - 5,000 reactions at 5 µL total reaction volumes
(384-well PCR plates)
