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.
