PreCursor-M AnoGYN

PreCursor-M AnoGYN is a methylation-specific molecular assay to detect promoter hypermethylation of the human genes ASCL1 and ZNF582  in bisulfite-converted DNA prepared from human samples, for instance formalin-fixed paraffin embedded anal biopsies or anal swab specimens.

Special Features:

  • One-step PCR:
    • Multiplex format enabling simultaneous amplification and detection of the two targets and controls in a single reaction
  • Ready-to-use mastermix:
    • Just add bisulfite-converted DNA
  • Reliable:
    • Robust
    • Good reproducibility
    • Built-in check for sample quality and normalization.
For research use only
