STR Genotyping    

ACGT, Inc. offers a complete Fragment Analysis of Short Tandem Repeats (STR) or microsatellite (MS) genotyping service. Use of multiple ABI 3730XL or 3730 Genetic Analyzers allows us to screen hundreds of samples per day. STR Genotyping is available for most organisms.

 STR Genotyping Service Description:

- Design and synthesis of fluorescent-labeled PCR
  amplification primers for individual or multiplex
  strategies.
- Optimization of PCR amplification conditions for
  detecting STR and MS loci.
- PCR amplification of STR loci and separation on the
  ABI 3730XL or 3730 Genetic Analyzer.
- Allele size and identity determination with
  GeneMapper ID (V3.0) software and experimenter
  verification of the data.
- Data presented in user-friendly spreadsheets that
  contain allele size and intensity.
- All results are available in electronic and hard copy
  formats including a publication quality
  electropherogram of each sample with a reference
  size ladder.
- Experience with difficult to assay samples and complete assistance with data interpretation.
- A "load-and-go" service is available if the user has prepared the fluorescently labeled PCR products
  and only requires analysis of these on the Genetic Analyzer.
