HRM is a versatile and cost-effective method that has been shown to be successfully used for a diverse range of applications, as illustrated by various publications. From analysis of SNPs, mutations, insertions, deletions, and genetic variations such as microsatellites and haplotypes, to detection of changes in CpG methylation status, exploit the full potential of HRM for your research. QIAGEN offers a complete solution for HRM analysis, no matter what your application!
