Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) Launches its Fully Licensed Minor Groove Binder Eclipse® GMP Probes to its Online Service

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), has become the only company to add fully licensed Minor Groove Binder (MGB) Eclipse® GMP probes to its online service, enabling quick and efficient ordering. These robust and economical qPCR probes are the latest addition to the company’s product portfolio of GMP probes and primer GMP-produced and supplied under license for use as components in human in vitro diagnostic tests. Diagnostics test manufacturers can now benefit from a faster turnaround time for MGB Eclipse probes, receiving products with full GMP traceability.

Facilitating fast and accurate detection and measurement of abnormal or foreign DNA in cell samples, the demand for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays for in vitro diagnostics has rapidly grown, highlighting the need for easily available high-quality probes. The gold standard for 5′ nuclease qPCR assays is set by three critical features in oligonucleotide probes: fluorescent reporter dyes, quenchers for these dyes, and a minor groove binder. MGB Eclipse probes meet this standard, containing a choice of FAM, HEX™, or TET™ fluorescent markers, Eclipse™ Dark Quenchers, and the Minor Groove Binder (MGB™). Diagnostic test providers are supplied with an extensive and reliable choice of readily available, high-quality probes for their end-use applications thanks to Coupling MGB Eclipse probes with IDT’s expertise in oligonucleotide and GMP manufacturing.

The efficient service provided by IDT’s online ordering system for gene expression and genotyping GMP probes and primers, which include multiple fluorophore and quencher options, benefits hospitals, CLIA and reference labs, among others. Diagnostic test providers also benefit from the same turnaround time, and ISO 13485-certified production processes, providing the fully transparent and traceable product history afforded by IDT’s GMP business strategy. This ensures customers will receive products that meet elevated standards for all their diagnostic requirements.
