Assay Design
Our SNP discovery and SNP scoring service each start with assay design. Sophisticated software created specifically for Polymorphic DNA rapidly designs optimized oligonucleotide primers for the regions of interest. There is no trial and error in our assay development; the primers are synthesized and then the reactions are ready to be processed.

Instrumentation
Polymorphic DNA Technologies' DNA analysis lab employs automated high throughput capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencing instruments. Use of these instruments prevents lane to lane sample carryover, a common problem with slab gel DNA sequencing instruments. This type of contamination does not occur with our instruments since the capillaries are self-contained. Template amplification and DNA sequencing reaction setup are performed using high throughput liquid handling robotics. This allows thousands of samples to be analyzed quickly while minimizing human errors. Since its inception, Polymorphic has been focused on continual process improvement. We are constantly striving to increase the quality, accuracy, sensitivity, and speed of our assays, while minimizing their costs.

Experienced Staff
Our scientific staff has substantial experience in molecular biology, especially nucleic acid amplification and analysis. We have multiple experts who specialize in automation, DNA sequencing, software design and several other disciplines.
