KASP genotyping reagents

Make data-informed breeding decisions faster with our proprietary KASP PCR-based genotyping assay.

Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP™) assays enable accurate, bi-allelic discrimination of SNPs and indels. Unmatched quality, reliability and credibility have established KASP as a foundational SNP genotyping chemistry for agrigenomics.

Accurate: KASP has been independently verified to achieve a 99.8% call rate across many DNA extraction techniques, GC/AT-rich templates and plant species.
Cost effective: KASP does not require expensive labelled assay-specific primers or probes, is compatible with crude DNA extraction methods and uses low reaction volumes.
Flexible assay design: Our experts will identify the best mix of three non-labelled primers for your SNP, indel or mega indel.
Open plate reading format: The signal can be read on most FRET-capable plate readers and qPCR instruments. We have downloadable step-by-step protocols for running KASP assays on a wide range of commonly used qPCR instruments.

Pre-designed KASP assay libraries

Our KASP™ genotyping libraries consist of pre-validated genotyping assays. In collaboration with scientific partners across the globe, we have developed a number of genotyping libraries for various species. These pre-designed libraries are cost effective and easy to run with no minimum order quantity.

Unlike chip-based systems with fixed marker sets, our KASP genotyping libraries allow you the flexibility to select markers in response to the dynamic nature of marker-assisted breeding projects.
