Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) announced availability of the xGen HIV Amplicon Panel consisting of primers designed to cover 99.3% of the HIV genome.
Powered by IDT’s xGen Amplicon Technology, the HIV panel provides a single-tube, two-step PCR amplification workflow that uses overlapping primer sets to obtain high levels of genome coverage from as low as 1,000 double-stranded viral genome copies.
IDT’s xGen HIV Amplicon Panel offers a streamlined workflow that goes from sample to sequencer in 2.5 hours with up to 1536 unique dual indexing primers (UDIs) for multiplexed sequencing. This predesigned xGen Amplicon Panel built with xGen Amplicon Technology includes amplicon tiling and creation of super amplicons to ensure comprehensive genome coverage across existing variant genomes and provide resistance to future viral mutations that may fall within a priming site, thus enabling future identification of novel variants.
