Patent Images
1. A kit for carrying out a two-step amplifications reaction comprising:
- (a) a first container or reaction vessel comprising a plurality of amplification primer sets suitable for carrying out a multiplex amplification reaction to produce a plurality of different amplicons and one or more single-stranded oligonucleotide probes complementary to all or a part of one or more of the plurality of different amplicons; and
(b) a second container or reaction vessel comprising a single set of amplification primers suitable for carrying out a singleplex amplification reaction to produce a single amplicon, and a single-stranded oligonucleotide probe complementary to all or a part of the single amplicon.
