Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays to detect single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) that are present in less than 5% of a sample?

TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays are designed to work on equal volumes, so if the mutation is only present at 5%, it is possible that the assay will not detect the variants. Therefore, we do not recommend using these assays to detect somatic mutations. SNP assays by qPCR with TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays are intended to detect germline mutations.

For somatic mutations, we recommend using digital PCR or castPCR. Find more information about digital PCR and castPCR in the links below:
