Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Antibiotic Resistance Assay

Description

• Assays are used for quantitative real-time PCR detection of microbial species and antibiotic resistance genes These assays consist of a pair of unlabeled PCR primers and a TaqMan probe with a dye label (FAM) on the 5’ end and a minor groove binder (MGB) and non-fluorescent quencher (NFQ) on the 3’ end All of our predesigned TaqMan gene expression assays are covered by the TaqMan Assays qPCR Guarantee Features of TaqMan Antibiotic Resistance assays include: Easy to use - just add DNA and master mix and run the qPCR, no melt curves required Specific - TaqMan assays use proprietary MGB-containing probes that can be up to 15 bases shorter than non-MGB probes, improving the specificity of the assay Sensitive - TaqMan assays are ideal for measuring low-abundance microbial targets Accurate - identify microbial targets with high accuracy of quantitation Extensive content - over 300 pre-designed microbe detection assays and 100 pre-designed antibiotic resistance assays currently available Gold-standard TaqMan qPCR chemistry - TaqMan assays draw on Thermo Fisher Scientific's bioinformatics assay design pipeline to help ensure high specificity and minimal cross-reactivity Fast delivery - assays shipped in as little as 1–2 days (see below)
