Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) and traditional priming methods for DNA NGS analysis?
As opposed to traditional priming methods, AMP chemistry enables tiling primers across both strands of DNA, optimally covering targeted regions for amplification and characterization of challenging, yet relevant alterations such as internal tandem duplications. Additionally, AMP chemistry uses molecular barcode adapters that bind to DNA fragments before amplification, allowing for efficient amplification of targets even from degraded or fragmented nucleic acid input, such as DNA from FFPE tissue and ctDNA from plasma.
