Qiagen has recently introduced QuantiTect endogenous control assays, which are primer-probe sets for specific control genes, according to the company.
The assays use a QuantiProbe labeled with Yakima Yellow dye and are used in real-time, duplex PCR with a second QuantiTect Assay for a chosen target gene, said Qiagen. The target gene assay uses a QuantiProbe labeled with FAM dye and can be a functionally validated QuantiTect gene expression assay or a user-designed QuantiTect custom assay.
