Homogeneous membrane integrity assay, a rapid fluorescent measure of the release of cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase, is suitable for automated systems including HTS
Readit technology detects specific alleles by combining novel enzymatic reactions and sequence specific oligonucleotide hybridisation.
Versatile and flexible for the detection of sequence variation or genotype, the assay combines enzymatic fidelity, stringent probe hybridisation and an integrated data calculator for automated SNP scoring, error detection and statistical analysis of the data.
Providing increased confidence in results, validation studies reveal a genotyping accuracy of greater than 99.9%.
The Readit system is suitable for the detection of SNPs, estimation of allelic frequencies and allele correlation studies, the detection of chromosomal translocations, mutation detection and the interrogation of PCR products to determine the presence of a known sequence.
Readit version 1.1 allows users to design their assays both in terms of the target and their throughput requirements.
