How are SNP assays designed?
There are three methods of designing SNP assays for use on the ABI 7900HT: • Assay On Demand (AOD) – These assays, currently numbering over 200,000, are pre-validated assays available from ABI. We have used ~400 of these assays in the past and have found them to be of extremely high quality. • Assay By Design (ABD) – These assays are designed by ABI from the provided sequence information. These assays undergo a preliminary QC by ABI, and as a result only those assays passing QC will be billed. Under normal circumstances this is our first choice for designing new assays. • Manual Design – These assays are manually designed by Geneservice Ltd following a strict set of guidelines. We recommend that this mode of design is used only for assays which fail ABD.
