TaqMan Fusion Assays

Accurate detection of fusion transcripts

This specialized set of TaqMan™ Gene Expression Assays is designed to detect fusion transcripts using real-time PCR. Certain fusion transcripts are considered rare and are not well characterized; therefore, detecting these rare events using a single technology can deliver ambiguous results. TaqMan Gene Expression Assays are a complementary solution to next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels, designed to serve as an orthogonal validation method for confirming NGS results.

  • Built from proven TaqMan Assay chemistry
  • Performance guaranteed for all pre-designed assays* 
  • Consists of a single tube, which contains a probe, forward primer, and reverse primer for each target for use in the simple, fast PCR workflow 
  • Use universal cycling conditions—run any combination of assays in parallel on a single real-time PCR instrument
