Choosing a Probe

When designing qPCR and genotyping assays, its critical to select the right probe format and not follow a one-size fits all approach. Meticulous and careful probe design around factors such as GC-content, secondary structure avoidance, target Tm values are necessary to avoid compromising specificity and quenching efficiency. At LGC Biosearch Technologies, we offer various chemistries and probe formats with powerful cutting edge design software all at your fingertips to enable the best results on every run with less effort, less time, less of your precious sample, and greater confidence.
