Features & Benefits

The AmplideX PCR/CE HTT Kit includes reagents to perform a two-primer, anchor-primed PCR of the HTT CAG repeat region followed by fragment sizing by capillary electrophoresis. This single-tube PCR reaction provides a streamlined workflow, enabling sample-to-result in approximately 6 hours using readily available laboratory equipment.

Reduced Complexity

• Proprietary PCR solutions for GC-rich amplification and detection
• Eliminates need for multiple PCRs – one result, straightforward analysis
• Resolves zygosity and detects large expansions

Optimized Workflow

• Fully kitted, end-to-end solutions that significantly reduce hands-on-time
• Sample-to-result possible within a single shift
• Identical PCR and CE conditions as the AmplideX PCR/CE DMPK Kit

Quality Results

• Reliable, unambiguous results and a robust stutter peak pattern
• Accurate sizing across the entire CAG repeat range
• Software converts raw base pair data into number of repeats

*For Research Use Only.  Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Analytical Characteristics

• Excellent Concordance with Previously Characterized Samples (Table 1)
• Repeat profile is conserved across known SNPs (Figure 1)
• Clearly resolves zygosity (Figure 2)
