GeneProof MTHFR C677T PCR Kit
CE IVD
PRODUCT DETAIL
The PCR kit is designed to detect C677T polymorphism in the gene for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) by the real-time Polymeras Chain Reaction (PCR).
The method consists in amplification and detection of the target sequence using allele specific fluorophore labelled probes. The target sequence is the single nucleotide cytosine/thymine polymorphism in site 677 (C677T). Presence of wild-type allele (C677C) is detected in the FAM fluorescent channel and mutant allele (T677T) in the HEX fluorescent channel. In case of heterozygous genotype (C677T) a signal is detected in both channels. Detection kit contains Ready to Use MasterMix and takes advantage of the "hot start" technology, minimizing non-specific reactions and assuring maximum sensitivity. Kit is designed for in vitro diagnostics.
