ScienCell's Absolute Mouse Telomere Length Quantification qPCR Assay Kit (AMTLQ) is designed to directly measure the average telomere length of a mouse cell population. The telomere primer set recognizes and amplifies telomere sequences. The single copy reference (SCR) primer set recognizes and amplifies a 100 bp-long region on mouse chromosome 10, and serves as reference for data normalization. The reference genomic DNA sample with known telomere length serves as a reference for calculating the telomere length of target samples. The carefully designed primers ensure: (i) high efficiency for trustworthy quantification; and (ii) no non-specific amplification. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis and gel electrophoresis for amplification specificity and by template serial dilution for amplification efficiency.
