AmplideX® PCR/CE FMR1 Reagents

AmplideX FMR1AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Reagents* are market-leading research tools for the detection of CGG repeats in the Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene. These reagents provide a PCR-only approach based on Triplet Repeat Primed PCR (TP-PCR) design to reliably amplify and detect all alleles including Full Mutations.

Our Product: AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Reagents

Features & Benefits

AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Reagents* have created an easy-to-use, accessible, high performance method for laboratories to reliably analyze CGG repeats and detect interrupting AGG sequences in the FMR1 gene.

Reduced Complexity
Ease-of-analysis of the FMR1 gene has been simplified through:

  • Implementation of proprietary PCR solution for amplifying GC-rich regions
  • Automation of result calling using AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Analysis Module

Optimized Workflow
Valuable operator hands-on time has been significantly reduced through:

  • Direct injection of PCR products (no PCR clean up) in to Capillary Electrophoresis platforms
  • Decreased need for Southern blot analysis (up to 50 fold)
  • End-to-end solution for FMR1 analysis including all necessary reagents and software

Quality Performance
Performing FMR1 Analysis with Greater Sensitivity and Accuracy:

  • Detection of all allele expansions, including low abundance full mutation size mosaics with up to at least 1300 CGG repeats
  • Up to 875 fold more sensitive than Southern blot1
  • Resolution of female homozygous and heterozygous samples and indication of interrupting AGG sequences
  • Proven performance as indicated by more than 30 peer reviewed publications

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

AmplideX® PCR/CE FMR1 Kit

AmplideX FMR1AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 Kit is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for use in clinical laboratories for detection of the CGG repeats in the Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene. The device is intended to aid in the diagnosis of fragile X syndrome and fragile X associated disorders, e.g. tremor and ataxia syndrome (FX-TAS) and primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI), through determination of CGG repeat length up to 200 CGG and detection of alleles greater than 200 CGG. The kit provides a PCR-only approach based on Triplet Repeat Primed PCR (TP-PCR) design to reliably amplify and detect all alleles including Full Mutations.
