Abstract

Amplifluor, a genotyping system used to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), is supplied by Merck-Millipore. Amplifluor is based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two competing allele-specific primers and a SNP specific common reverse primer. Sequence information flanking SNP of interest and fluorescent plate reader for end-point measurement or qPCR machine for real time measurement are required for the execution of the Amplifluor assay. In this chapter, the principle and working protocol of the Amplifluor assay based on end-point fluorescence detection of SNP allele is presented with an example.
