By the use of our well-established Quicktype mutation assays samples can be analyzed for genetic polymorphisms in a fast and user-friendly way. Our assays find the application in routine diagnostics for thrombophilia, metabolism, immunogenetics and pharmacogenetics.

To differentiate genotypes our Quicktype assays use an allele-specific PCR with integrated probe hybridization. The separation of amplification products is performed directly after the PCR without any additional incubation steps either by agarose gel electrophoresis or by automatic capillary electrophoresis. The resulting band pattern reveals the genotype of the patients sample. A low-molecular PCR product shows the wild type allele, a higher-molecular PCR product shows the mutated allele.
