AmplideX® Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit*
A Long-Range PCR & Long-Read Sequencing Solution for Carrier Screening Research
The AmplideX Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit interrogates eleven genes that contribute to high at-risk couple rates in carrier screening. The design utilizes four mixes across the 11 genes with modularity to allow any combination of testing.
The use of long-read sequencing provides additional insights and reduces the need for reflex testing compared to traditional methods. The AmplideX One Reporter* software further simplifies data analysis and reporting for a seamless, streamlined workflow.
AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Reagents*
With a PCR-only workflow, that eliminates the need to do southern blot and provides reliable, robust results, this product has become the gold standard for FMR1 testing worldwide.
AmplideX Kitted Assays for Inherited Neurological Disorders
AmplideX PCR/CE SMN1/2 Plus Kit*
With a simple PCR/CE workflow that provides results in under 4 hours, this assay not only gives SMN1 and SMN2 copy number information but also provides variant status information for gene duplication and disease modifier variants.
