   Allele specific oligonucleotide

   It acts as a probe for the presence of the target in a Southern blot assay or, more commonly, in the simpler Dot blot assay. ... The RFLP assay was briefly adapted to the use of oligonucleotide probes, but this technique was quickly supplanted by ASO analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA.
2. close

   SNP genotyping

   This is addressed somewhat by using several redundant probes to interrogate each SNP. ... The primer extension method is used in a number of assay formats.
3. close

   Enzyme assay

   UV light is often used, since the common coenzymes NADH and NADPH absorb UV light in their reduced forms, but do not in their oxidised forms. ... MTT assay
4. close

   DNA microarray

   It is used to assay the expression of alternative splice forms of a gene. ... These may be compared to other genes within a sample or to reference "normalizing" probes used to calibrate data across the entire array and across multiple arrays.
5. close

   Test probe

   A test probe (test lead, test prod) is a physical device used to connect electronic test equipment to the device under test (DUT). ... Passive scope probes
6. close

   Real-time polymerase chain reaction

   Using fluorescent reporter probes is the most accurate and most reliable of the methods, but also the most expensive. ... Polymerisation of a new DNA strand is initiated from the primers, and once the polymerase reaches the probe, its 5'-3-exonuclease degrades the probe, physically separating the fluorescent reporter from the quencher, resulting in an increase in fluorescence.
7. close

   Oxygen radical absorbance capacity

   ORAC levels of various foods These are "old" data from the ORAC assay used before 2004 and should be viewed only as qualitative rankings.
8. close

   Fluorescent in situ hybridization

   Differently-coloured probes can be used for the detection of translocations. ... Enzyme assay - Mass spectrometry - Chromatography - Flow cytometry - Blood bank - Microbiological culture - Serology
9. close

   Comet assay

   For calibration, hydrogen peroxide is usually used to provide a standardized level of DNA damage. ... The comet assay is an extremely sensitive DNA damage assay.
10. close

    Chemotaxis assay

    For detection of cells general staining techniques (e.g. trypan blue) or special probes (e.g. mt-dehydrogenase detection with MTT assay) are used.
