Overcome the limitations of conventional mutagenesis assays by characterizing DNA mutations in vitro or in vivo from a wide array of samples

TwinStrand’s DuplexSeqTM Mutagenesis Assays use error-corrected NGS (ecNGS) technology to characterize DNA mutations and calculate mutational frequencies.

Flexible

  • Compatible with in vivo and in vitro studies
  • Kits for human, mouse, and rat samples
  • Compatible with any cell type and tissue

Comprehensive

  • Directly detect and quantify mutation frequency
  • Characterize mutation spectra and signatures
  • Gain insight into mutagenic mechanisms

Powerful

  • Eliminates the need for transgenic rodent models
  • Streamline nitrosamine impurities testing
  • Consistent, repeatable readouts across sample types
