Great results, relatively economical prices
Application Area: Genotyping of sunflower
"The need for high-quality DNA extraction is not an advantage. The manufacturer wants to be a part of our papers, If they provided the products and the services for free, this demand could be reasonable. Good kit, easy to apply. Not using gel electrophoresis is a huge advantage."

It is easy to use but you need all the instruments in house to perform it.
Application Area:Genotyping
"The service is very good and the primers + master mix are easy to use. But it is very expensive (at least the PCR master mix) and you need all the instruments like special pcr cycler, pcr plates and so on already. For a one time experiment it might be too expensive for genotyping."

"Super fast method for analyzing large numbers of samples. This product is helpful for analyzing segregating population on a large scale. For example, searching for the EMS mutated candidate gene responsible for the phenotype in segregating population after outcross. Only 3 components (DNA of interest, KASP reagent and KASP assay) required, therefore very easily done in 96 well plate. Easy to analyze the results. Mostly no false positive observed. One of best, quick and easy assay in my PhD work."

"Easy-to-use product for high-throughput genotyping. Advantages: Standard protocol for all SNPs, cheaper than TaqMan probes and shorter sequences needed. Disadvantages: False positives should be optimized."
The patented KASP™ genotyping method is a homogeneous, FRET-based end-point PCR assay that enables accurate bi-allelic discrimination of known SNPs and InDels.
Unlike other PCR-based genotyping assays, KASP requires no labelling of the target-specific primers or probes, giving it a clear cost advantage. It also allows greater flexibility for assay design, which translates into a higher overall success rate and the unique ability to genotype large/mega InDels. For over 20 years, the KASP assay has been cited in over 2,500 peer-reviewed publications, developed into tens of thousands of pre-validated assays across many commercially important crops, and used to develop over 200,000 SNP genotyping assays in more than 75 organisms, including higher ploidy plant species.
Whether purchased as a product for use in your laboratory, or as a genotyping service at our state of the art genotyping laboratories in Europe and North America, KASP genotyping delivers accurate results and significant cost savings so customers can get the most out of their research budget. KASP genotyping is based on an open format PCR workflow. There is no need to buy new expensive equipment to be able to run KASP in your own laboratory; completed KASP reactions can be read on most FRET-capable plate readers and qPCR instruments.
