Products are for professional/laboratory use only.

Abacus dx would like to update you with the latest products from Asuragen.

Asuragen have recently announced the launch of AmplideX® PCR/CE SMN1 Kit for spinal muscular atrophy. This kit aims to simplify copy number determination by enabling quantification of SMN1 gene copies in as few as four hours.

The assay, which is optimized for use on widely established CE systems and requires minimal hands-on time, provides an easy-to-implement SMN1 exon 7 copy number assay for all laboratories.

Benefits of AmplideX® PCR/CE SMN1 Kit include:

• A simplified workflow allowing for results in as few as four hours with only 45 minutes hands-on-time
• Reduced complexity with similar workflow to the AmplideX® FMR1 assay to ease implementation and testing
• Ability to differentiate between 0, 1, 2, 3 and >3 copies
• Robust, reliable results with non-overlapping ratios for each copy number output
• Automated analysis which allows for reporting of copy number without subjectivity

Please note this kit is currently for research use only (RUO) and CE mark will follow.
