The MixTAAG® technology
is a step forward in multiplexing PCR
assays. The analysis systems (AS) derived
from this technology consist of molecular
biology reagents (based on the MixTAAG®
technology), an equipment platform and
proprietary analysis software. The
equipment platform comprises standard
Thermal Cycler and electrophoresis
equipment.
The AS based on MixTAAG® technology
offer numerous advantages over the
traditional molecular biology approaches
like multiplex PCR approaches and
probe-based PCR assays.The main
characteristics of the AS based on the
MixTAAG® are:
 |
High
multiplexing capacity, it allows
screening multiple targets (i.e.
over than 10) |
| |
in one single test. |
 |
High discrimination ability,
it allows distinguishing between
highly related targets, |
| |
up to those diverging in only
one base pair. |
 |
Cost-effective, it allows
high-throughput detection of
multiple targets thus reducing |
| |
the assay costs. |
 |
Semi-quantitative, it
achieves equivalent amplification
efficiency among each target, |
| |
making this methodology a
semi-quantitative approach. |
Applications of MixTAAG®
technology
Our AS based on MixTAAG® technology
are suitable for a wide range of
applications, in particular in clinical
and industrial fields, where multiple
targets need to be screened in a fast,
accurate and cost-effective way.
