High-Resolution Solutions for Genetic Disease Diagnosis

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) genetic testing combines fluorescent PCR with CE to sensitively detect repeat expansions, copy-number variants, and other subtle alterations that conventional methods may miss. It enables accurate, early diagnosis of inherited disorders such as Fragile X syndrome and spinal muscular atrophy—supporting clinical decisions and long-term care. CE-based assays offer high specificity, reproducibility, and resolution for routine diagnostics and advanced screening.

Advancing Precision Oncology

The era of precision oncology emphasizes treatment strategies tailored to the genetic features of each tumor. Molecular profiling enables researchers to explore genetic mutations, microsatellite instability (MSI), and pharmacogenomic markers associated with tumor behavior and drug response. These insights lay the foundation for developing targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes.

STR CE Panels Empowering Human Identification

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis is a cornerstone of forensic DNA profiling, extensively applied in criminal investigations, paternity assessments, and national DNA databases. By targeting specific repetitive DNA regions, STR typing provides exceptional resolution for identifying individuals, determining familial relationships, and studying population genetics. Achieving high levels of accuracy, consistency, and global database compatibility necessitates the use of a precise, high-resolution detection method—Capillary Electrophoresis (CE).

Applications of CE Technology

Cell Line Authentication

Misidentified cell lines lead to misleading data, experimental confusion, and unnecessary costs. In response, many leading journals and funding bodies now require cell line authentication. Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling by capillary electrophoresis (CE) generates a distinctive, reproducible genetic fingerprint for rapid, cost-effective identity verification.

Microsatellite Marker Analysis

Microsatellites are short, repetitive DNA sequences (typically 2–6 bp per repeat unit) with high polymorphism and codominant inheritance. While the repeat motif is constant at a given locus, the number of repeats—and thus amplicon size—varies among individuals. CE resolves these size differences with single-base precision, making microsatellites ideal for applications such as microsatellite instability (MSI) testing in oncology and genetic disease studies.

QF-PCR

Quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR) enables accurate relative quantification of DNA fragments by comparing fluorescent peak heights or areas across loci and samples. It is widely used for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) assessment, aneuploidy detection in prenatal diagnostics, and characterization of chromosomal abnormalities.

MLPA

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), developed by MRC-Holland, is a highly multiplexed, cost-effective method for detecting copy-number variation across up to 50 genomic loci in a single reaction. It is extensively validated for diagnosing hereditary disorders and profiling copy-number changes in cancer.

SNP Genotyping

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping identifies variants associated with disease risk, phenotypic traits, and drug response. The CD Genomics Multiplex System supports multiplexed single-base extension for up to 10 SNPs per reaction, with clear allele resolution by CE.

Gene Editing Analysis

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing has transformed functional genomics through its precision and programmability but editing efficiency and repair outcomes are often heterogeneous. CE-based fragment analysis provides rapid, quantitative assessment of insertion/deletion (indel) profiles and overall editing efficiency in transfected cell populations.
