Benchtop gene scanning and mutation detection

System is based on dye-binding /high-resolution thermal denaturation which, with addition of a proprietary dye to PCR reactions, claims 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity up to 300bp

The HR1, Idaho Technology's benchtop gene scanning, mutation/SNP detection system, is available in the UK through Cadama Medical.

It is described as a fast, simple, and inexpensive which makes it ideal for individuals and laboratories alike.

The HR1 system is based on dye-binding /high-resolution thermal denaturation.

Through the addition of a proprietary dye, LCGreen1, to the PCR reactions, the HR1 can detect SNPs, insertions and deletions in less than 60 seconds post PCR.

Idaho claims 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity with PCR products up to 300bp.

The simple chemistry and use of the HR1 makes it an ideal partner for pre sequencing scanning, says Cadama.
