ESHG 2019

Visit Asuragen at the 2019 ESHG Conference
STAND #274 | Gothenburg, Sweden | June 15–18, 2019

Asuragen’s unique and proprietary AmplideX® chemistries power simple and streamlined solutions for analysis of complex genomic targets.

Visit our STAND #274 to learn more about our newly launched AmplideX PCR/CE SMN1/2 Kit*, which enables accurate quantification of SMN1 and SMN2 copy number in less than four hours. This assay is the latest addition to our rapidly growing Genetics portfolio, which also includes kits for genes implicated in a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease.


CORPORATE SATELLITE
Sunday, 16 June
11:15 – 12:45 hrs
Room A2

Shining a Light on Dark DNA: Simple and Streamlined Solutions for SMN1/2 Copy Number Determination, HTT Expansions and More…
This corporate satellite will highlight the extension of AmplideX® technology to new genomic targets, including those exhibiting trinucleotide repeat expansions, such as HTT, as well as genes where precise copy number resolution is required, including SMN1 and SMN2.
