SNP Genotyping

There are several different chemistries that can perform SNP Genotyping amongst which are KASPar^®, Taqman^®, and Invader^®. These chemistries rely on the detection of multiple fluorophores for each sample and when screening thousands of samples an instrument is needed that can reliably read these multiple fluorophores in a high-throughput manner.

The PHERAstar Plus and the PHERAstar FS are the perfect instruments to handle these screens. Having Dual Emission Detection and the ability to read 1536-well microplates in less than a minute, the PHERAstar microplate readers make SNP Genotyping a snap.

For more information, check out this application note showing how the misread rate of SNP Genotyping using KASPar^® is less than 0.1, while a recent publication shows how the PHERAstar and KASPar^® have been used for the genetic mapping of Pigeonpea and Legumes.
