TGGE Maxi System
High throughput for sensitive and cost effective mutation screening.
Long separation distance for analysis of complex samples
High parallel sample throughput
High reproducibility thanks to Peltier powered temperature gradient
Precise
The heart of the Biometra TGGE Maxi system is a temperature block powered by Peltier technology. Due to microprocessor control a strictly linear gradient can be generated providing maximum reproducibility. Thus assay conditions can be much better (and easier) controlled compared to conventional chemical gradients or temporal gradients using water baths.
Cost saving
TGGE provides fast and cost effective mutation screening of PCR fragments. Following pre - screening with TGGE only those samples are selected for direct sequencing that are different from the wildtype (standard). Thus the total number of sequenced samples can be dramatically reduced, saving time and money.
Sensitive
In contrast to direct sequencing TGGE can also detect mutations in mixed DNA samples. Whenever heterozygous DNA is to be analyzed, direct sequencing will not give a clear signal for the position of the mutation. This is especially problematic when the mutated material is masked by a high background of normal cells. TGGE reliably detects mutations in a 1: 10 dilution (and higher) of wildtype DNA.
