Amp Probes

What is Amp Probes?

Amp Probes, short for Amplification Probes, are tools used in molecular biology to detect and quantify specific DNA or RNA sequences. They work by selectively amplifying the target sequence, often using techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), and then using a probe, such as a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide, to bind to the amplified product. This allows researchers to identify and measure the amount of the target sequence present in a sample. Amp Probes are commonly used in diagnostics, research, and forensics.
