Why is CoralLoad included in the Type-it Mutation Detect, but not in the Type-it Microsatellite PCR Kit?
CoralLoad Dye unfortunately interferes with Capillary Sequencers and increases the risk of damaging the capillaries of these detection platforms. It is not included in the Type-it Microsatellite PCR Kit, since microsatellite loci are analyzed predominantly on Capillary Sequencers due to their high-resolution capability.
By comparison, mutations are very often analyzed on agarose gels, or the QIAxcel System, compatible with CoralLoad dye included in the Type-it Mutation Detect PCR Kit.
