Custom PNA Probes
PNA Probes
PNA can be used for many hybridization applications, the same as natural or synthetic DNA probes, but it has the advantages of tighter binding and higher specificity. Therefore, the research on PNA is mainly focused on its development as a probe for in situ hybridization analysis.
PNA probes have high binding specificity, and a 15-mer PNA probe can replace a set of longer DNA probes. In addition, the neutral backbone of PNA allows them to bind to DNA or RNA under low ionic strength conditions. Another advantage of using PNA probes is low background signal and compatibility with a variety of reporter molecules and fluorescent dyes, including fluorescein, rhodamine, cyanine and Alexa dyes. The unique properties of PNA have been widely used in gene mutation analysis, chromosome analysis, and research and diagnosis of human pathology, virology, bacteria and fungi. Specifically divide into the following three categories.
- PNA probes in histochemical in situ hybridization
- PNA probes in cytogenetic analysis
- PNA probes in microbiological analysis
- PNA probes in disease diagnosis
