Product catalog summary
Introduction
The AmplideX® PCR/CE HTT Kit is designed to simplify the detection and sizing of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene. This process is often complicated by adjacent SNPs and variable CCG repeats, which can interfere with primer binding and lead to allele dropouts. The kit uses a unique two-primer design to accurately report the number of repeats from as little as 10ng of gDNA within one day.
Reduced Complexity
  • Utilizes proprietary PCR solutions for effective GC-rich amplification and detection.
  • Eliminates the need for multiple PCRs, providing straightforward analysis with a single result.
  • Capable of resolving zygosity and detecting large expansions.
Optimized Workflow
  • Offers fully kitted, end-to-end solutions that significantly reduce hands-on time.
  • Enables sample-to-result processing within a single work shift.
  • Uses identical PCR and CE conditions as the AmplideX® PCR/CE DMPK Kit.
Quality Performance
  • Delivers reliable, unambiguous results with a robust stutter peak pattern.
  • Ensures accurate sizing across the entire CAG repeat range.
  • Includes software that converts raw base pair data into the number of repeats.
Figures and Data
  • Figure 1 illustrates the AmplideX PCR/CE HTT Kit Workflow.
  • Figure 2 shows that the repeat profile is conserved across known SNPs.
  • Figure 3 demonstrates 100% concordance (±1 repeat) with previously characterized samples, as reported by Kalman et al. (2007).
  • Figure 4 provides clear resolution of zygosity.
Ordering Information
The kit is available for research use only and not for diagnostic procedures. It can be ordered under P/N: 49657 and includes 32 reactions.

AmplideX® PCR/CE HTT Kit-1

Sensitive and Accurate Sizing of CAG Repeats in the HTT Gene The AmplideX® PCR/CE HTT Kit makes the detection and sizing of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the HTT gene easier than ever. Accurate sizing of the CAG expansions in HTT is challenged by the presence of adjacent SNPs and variable CCG repeats, which can complicate primer binding and cause allele dropouts. With its unique, two-primer design, the AmplideX PCR/CE HTT Kit overcomes these challenges to accurately and reliably report the number of repeats in one day, from as little as 10ng gDNA. REDUCED COMPLEXITY OPTIMIZED WORKFLOW • Proprietary PCR solutions for GC-rich amplification and detection • Eliminates need for multiple PCRs – one result, straightforward analysis • Resolves zygosity and detects large expansions • Fully kitted, end-to-end solutions that significantly reduce hands-on-time • Sample-to-result possible within a single shift • Identical PCR and CE conditions as the AmplideX® PCR/CE DMPK Kit QUALITY PERFORMANCE • Reliable, unambiguous results and a robust stutter peak pattern • Accurate sizing across the entire CAG repeat range • Software converts raw base pair data into number of repeats Figure 1.
