  • Kits for genomic DNA extraction—Explore our broad range of kits for purifying genomic DNA from a variety of samples including tissue, cells, blood, serum, plants, forensic samples, and more.
  • DNA Extract All Reagents Kit—Obtain PCR-ready DNA from a wide variety of sample types, ranging from blood to buccal swabs to plant tissues in five minutes.
Step 2: Select assays

We offer a variety of TaqMan Genotyping Assays for a number of real-time PCR analysis applications.

Step 3: Set up reactions

Prepare a reaction plate using TaqMan Assays and TaqMan master mix, along with your DNA samples. No additional reagents are needed.

  • TaqPath ProAmp Master Mix—Delivers accurate genotyping results, even from samples containing PCR inhibitors. Includes ROX passive reference dye.
Step 4: Run PCR
Amplify DNA and achieve allelic discrimination by running the PCR reaction on an Applied Biosystems real-time PCR system and/or thermal cycler. To better evaluate the accuracy of genotype calls, perform real-time time PCR and obtain genotyping data for every cycle. Or for higher throughput, run PCR on a thermal cycler and then perform an endpoint read on a real-time instrument.

Thermocycler instruments

  • ProFlex PCR System—The ProFlex PCR System’s interchangeable block formats allow you to maximize your throughput or run independent experiments concurrently.
  • SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler—The SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler is an easy-to use, compact, and accurate thermal cycler designed to fit every lab’s essential PCR workflow.
