FAQ
Which qPCR instruments and plate readers are compatible with KASP?
The qPCR instrument or plate reader must be capable of reading FAM and HEX fluorophores; the relevant excitation and emission values are detailed in the table below. KASP Master mix also contains ROX, a passive reference dye. Although it is not essential to read the ROX levels in your reactions, it is advisable to do so as normalisation will improve the quality of the data obtained.
| Fluorophore | Excitation (nm) | Emission (nm) |
| FAM | 485 | 520 |
| HEX | 535 | 556 |
| ROX | 575 | 610 |
