Matching vs. mismatching nucleotide is placed at the 3′-end of the primer for best discrimination results.
Cilantro: some people love it in their food, some hate it. Here we are detecting a genomic SNP (rs72921001) in HeLa genomic DNA. This SNP is reported to be close to a number of genes coding for olfactory receptors. (Reference: Eriksson N. et al. (2012), “A genetic variant near olfactory receptor genes influences cilantro preference.”)
Considering, that only the C-allele specific primer is extended and yielding in a specific amplicon, we can conclude a genetic predisposition in disliking cilantro, as this SNP is significantly associated with detecting a soapy taste to cilantro.
Allele-specific PCRs were performed from 1 ng/µl of HeLa gDNA in the presence of a realtime dye, indicating the amplification of the C-allele specific primer only. The A-allele specific primer is discriminated, thus not amplified up to 50 cycles.
PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel. Specific product is visualized by ethidium bromide staining at the amplicon length of 109 bp.
HiDi® stands for High Discrimination of mismatches at the 3’-terminus of primers in PCR. This myPOLS Biotec enzyme family is optimized for this feature and is the first choice for applications that rely on this property such as allele-specific PCR (asPCR) or allele-specific amplification (ASA).
Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) is a biomimetic in-situ water monitoring tool that falls under an expanding umbrella of passive samplers. It serves to warn researchers of toxin-producing harmful algal bloom (HAB) developments early on. It has been popularized through its affordability, ease of use, and its ability to capture ephemeral events in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. Its uptake of contaminants has been shown to be more similar than other sampling methods to that of aquatic species like bivalves, mussels, and clams. It provides an average bioavailable fraction of a toxin over deployment time that can be used to determine an overall toxin risk to organisms. The sampling period typically depends on the bioactivity at a site, ranging from 24 hours to 4 weeks in most cases.
A SPATT passively absorbs and desorbs extracellular compounds over its stretch of time at a sampling site; in an organism, a toxin would go through biochemical detoxification processes. Passive samplers have a higher sensitivity for more compounds and provide improved stability and preservation of these compounds within the resin. SPATT devices capture less commonly detected cyanotoxins (e.g. cylindrospermopsin) at lower concentrations than that of a grab sample (collected at one point in time). Grab samples are limited in scope and sensitivity, and underrepresent toxins like microcystin-LR, which is picked up very reliably through SPATT technology.
Uses HP20 that is widely applicable for many toxins.

Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry (Lee et al., 2005). S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulasepositive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology.
