Catalog number Product Name Reactions Fluorophore Product description
800437 MGB Alert® Bordetella P/PP Primer Mix ASR 48 Amplifies nucleic acids within the IS481 and IS1001 repeat regions of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis. Melt curve analysis discriminates the two species.
800438 MGB Alert® Bordetella P/PP Probe mix ASR 48 FAM Detects nucleic acids within the IS481 and IS1001 repeat regions of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis. Melt curve analysis discriminates the two species.

Benefits

Innovative.  MGB Alert reagents utilize our original minor groove binder probe technology, and feature flexibility of PCR-based detection and/or melt curve analysis. DSQ Alert™ reagents now incorporate our proprietary duplex stabilizing quencher (DSQ), a next step in MGB probe chemistry.

Flexible. Our reagents can be used on the ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius™ instrument systems, and on most open channel platforms. Let us help create the right workflow for your lab.

Responsive. We frequently anticipate and nimbly respond to market needs as they arise. Let us know what you’d like to add to your own real-time PCR menu.
