Chemistry options for difficult DNA
sequences
Methods development kit contains a set of core reagents plus a choice of nucleotide mixtures to provide multiple chemistry options for difficult sequences
Beckman Coulter introduces the GenomeLab Methods Development Kit, with multiple chemistries for DNA sequencing on the CEQ series genetic analysis systems A complement to the company's CEQ Quick Start and DTCS kits, this new kit contains a set of core reagents plus a choice of nucleotide mixtures: dITP for routine sequencing, and dGTP for sequencing through difficult G-C rich and polymerase hard stop regions

The dGTP chemistry is said to be highly effective for those problematic templates where standard terminator kits produce data with early signal loss.
"As the use of confirmatory sequencing has grown, so have customer encounters with templates that are difficult to sequence," explained Noreen Galvin, GenomeLab business manager for Beckman Coulter.
"The GenomeLab Methods Development Kit provides different options in one kit for obtaining optimal research results".
The kit integrates with Beckman Coulter's CEQ software, which provides a comprehensive suite of analysis tools for complex DNA research, including advanced data visualisation, quality values and vector trimming, automated heterozygote detection, and identification of changes or mutations in a sequence.
