Custom assay design
Can’t find what you need from our portfolio of predesigned assays? Use our TaqMan Custom Design Assay Tool to easily design your own assay based on your target sequence of interest or submit the primer/probe sequences of your own design. Each custom assay is a mix of forward primer, reverse primer, and FAM and/or VIC dye-labeled TaqMan MGB probe.
Primers & probes
Design your own TaqMan primer and probe sets from your choice of dye-labeled TaqMan MGB, TAMRA, or QSY custom probes and Applied Biosystems unlabeled, sequence detection primers.
Additionally, you have the option to customize assays through our Specialty service or utilize Thermo Fisher's manufacturing infrastructure for GMP oligos or OEM and contract manufacturing services.
