SNPtype™ Assays
Key Application:  SNP Genotyping

Fluidigm SNPtype Assays provide a custom, high- throughput, low-cost single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping solution which enables rapid assay design and polymorphism screening. The assays are based on allele-specific PCR SNP detection chemistry and combine the advantages of minimum experimental setup time and flexible assay choice with the reliability of Dynamic Array™ integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs).

Low costs and high reproducibility are critical for high sample throughput applications including production-scale SNP genotyping and screening studies. SNPtype Assays employ tagged, allele-specific PCR primers and a common reverse primer. A universal probe set is used in every reaction, producing uniform fluorescence while significantly reducing both startup and running costs. The assays provide excellent results on Dynamic Array IFCs and are compatible with existing workflows. We provide the locus-specific primer sequences with all orders, confirming target locations and assuring reproducibility between laboratories.

  • Cost savings—low startup and running costs
  • Confidence—locus-specific primer sequences provided
  • Flexibility—change targets on demand

Our SNPtype Assays are compatible with both the EP1™ System and the BioMark™ HD System. See the SNPtype Assays Data Sheet for more details.
