Beckman Coulter, Inc. introduces the GenomeLab™ SNPStart primer extension Kit for simplified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection on the company's CEQ™ 8000 Series Genetic Analysis System. Based on single-based primer extension technology, SNPStart is validated and optimized for multiplexing up to 10 SNPs in a single tube. Ideal for low- to medium-throughput applications, this new kit provides a fast alternative to one-at-a-time four-color SNP detection. Updated software to support the new kit is also available.
