What are Solaris qPCR Gene Expression Assays?
They are pre-designed primer/probe combinations that simplify the qPCR process.
How do Solaris assays improve specificity?
They incorporate exon junction spanning regions to avoid amplifying contaminant genomic DNA.
What is the significance of the minor groove binder in Solaris probes?
It stabilizes the probe-target interaction, allowing for shorter probes and higher melting temperatures.
Can Solaris assays detect splice variants?
Yes, they are designed to detect all known splice variants of a gene.
How should Solaris reagents be stored?
They should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius and are stable for at least 12 months.
What is the role of super bases in Solaris assays?
Super bases improve the stability of at bonds and eliminate self-association in GC-rich sequences.
