PyroMark Q96 TestsFor analyzing gene-specific sequence variation or methylation on PyroMark Q96 ID or PyroMark Q96 MD
PyroMark Q96 Tests are a range of predesigned assays suitable for highly reliable, quantitative analysis of mutations or SNPs, as well as CpG methylation. Tests designated specifically with 'Q96' are optimized for use with the PyroMark Q96 MD and/or PyroMark Q96 ID Instruments. Other tests, such as PyroMark HFE and PyroMark MTHFR, can additionally be performed on the PyroMark Q24 (with the exception of PyroMark APOE). Buy Products
PyroMark APOE, PyroMark HFE, PyroMark MTHFR, PyroMark Q96 CpG LINE-1, PyroMark Q96 CpG MGMT, PyroMark Q96 CpG MLH1, PyroMark Q96 CpG p16, and PyroMark Q96 CpG Prader-Willi tests are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease. Product Details
Performance
The PyroMark Q96 Tests are highly suitable for accurately measuring the CpG methylation status, as exemplified with the PyroMark Q96 CpG p16 Test (see figure PyroMark p16 analysis).
Principle
PyroMark Q96 Tests used in combination with PyroMark Q96 MD and/or PyroMark Q96 ID Systems enable accurate, quantitative mutation (or SNP) and methylation analysis by Pyrosequencing. The assays consist of PCR primers and a sequencing primer.
Procedure
Prior to Pyrosequencing, a biotinylated PCR product is generated. Biotinylated PCR products are bound to streptavidin-coated Sepharose beads. The beads are then captured with the vacuum tool on the PyroMark Vacuum Workstation, and throroughly washed, generating single-stranded DNA suitable for sequencing. PyroMark Q96 Tests are predesigned assays for methylation analysis by Pyrosequencing. Each test includes the primers necessary for generating the biotinylated PCR product, as well as the primer for the Pyrosequencing reaction.
Applications
PyroMark Q96 Tests enable highly accurate, quantitative methylation and mutation (or SNP) analysis applicable in several fields of research, including cancer and epigenetics. Product Resources |
