DNA Activation Kits are used in the first steps of the GoldenGate protocol to make biotin-labeled DNA that is then purified for use in the GoldenGate Assay amplification step. The DNA sample used in this assay is activated for binding to paramagnetic particles. This activation step requires a minimum input of DNA (250ng at 50ng/μl).

The GoldenGate Assay allows for a high degree of loci multiplexing during the extension and amplification steps, minimizing time, reagent volumes, and material requirements of the process.

  • The DNA sample used in this assay is activated for binding to paramagnetic particles
  • This activation step is a highly robust process that requires a minimum input of DNA (250ng at 50ng/μl. Depending upon the multiplex level, this equates to only 160pg of DNA per SNP genotype call
  • Assay oligonucleotides, hybridization buffer, and paramagnetic particles are combined with the activated DNA in the hybridization step
