Coronavirus qPCR Primer and probe sets for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Corona Virus), with additional real-time RT-PCR, RT-qPCR and supporting reagents available.
We offer OligoEvaluator™ as an easy-to-use Oligo Analyzer tool for online oligonucleotide sequence calculator that provides primer dimer analysis values for PCR and calculation of Tm.
Annealing is the process of heating and cooling two single-stranded oligonucleotides with complementary sequences. Heat breaks all hydrogen bonds, and cooling allows new bonds to form between the sequences.
Several phosphate backbone variants have been developed in an attempt to alter the chemical properties of native-state DNA and therefore overcome the two major challenges involved with using oligonucleotides in vivo.
The ultimate goal of most antisense research is to develop therapeutic agents for diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and HIV/ AIDS. Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides (commonly referred to as S-oligos) are often the molecules of choice because of their resistance to cellular nuclease degradation.
Digital PCR (dPCR) is an end-point PCR method that is used for absolute quantification and for analysis of minority sequences against a background of similar majority sequences.
Two commonly used quenchers, TAMRA™ and DABYCL, limit the ultimate sensitivity and flexibility of qPCR. TAMRA is not a dark quencher and therefore contributes to an overall increase in background because of its own native fluorescence. DABCYL, though a dark quencher, has an inadequate absorption footprint that overlaps very poorly with reporter dyes emitting above 480 nm.
Oligonucleotide Handling & Stability is a techniques in order to ensure trouble-free experiments. Proper storage of your oligo will maximize its shelf life, allowing you to get the most use from the oligo
Calculate the melting temperature (Tm) of oligonucleotides using theoretical method like the nearest neighbor or the basic method. The DNA Tm is the temperature at which 50% of the oligonucleotide is duplexed with its perfect complement and 50% is free in solution.
Annealing is the process of heating and cooling two single-stranded oligonucleotides with complementary sequences. Heat breaks all hydrogen bonds, and cooling allows new bonds to form between the sequences.
Follow this DDT reduction protocol to reduce disulfide bonds in thiol-modified oligonucleotides, thereby avoiding this source of oligo dimer formation.
We are committed to product quality, manufacturing effectiveness and meeting customer expectations. Accordingly, the majority of our Life Science sites are certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
