Primer & Probe Design Solutions

PrimerDigital provides assay design and bioinformatics services for PCR, qPCR, multiplex panels, and sequence-based marker development—supported by repeat-aware filtering and in-silico specificity analysis.

You receive

  • Ordering-ready primer/probe tables
  • Specificity/off-target assessment
  • Multiplex interaction screening
  • Implementation notes (cycling, pooling)

Assay design

General PCR primer design

Standard, long-range, inverted, and sequencing-oriented PCR designs.

Multiplex PCR panels

Multiplex and high-plex primer sets with pool partitioning and interaction-aware filtering.

qPCR and probe assays

TaqMan-style probes, MGB probes, molecular beacons, LUX primers, and related chemistries.

SSR and repeat-associated markers

SSR locus primers and repeat-based polymorphism assays for plants and animals.

Primer/probe redesign

Improve performance of existing assays: efficiency, specificity, and platform constraints.

Group-specific amplification

Primers that amplify related sequences while enabling discrimination of polymorphisms.

Project services

  • Gene walking (identify unknown genomic sequence adjacent to known region)
  • Multiplex PCR primer development projects
  • Polymorphism detection for multi-locus/homologous gene sets
  • Repeat-based polymorphism (SSR, retrotransposons, tandem repeats)
  • In silico experiment planning and assay feasibility checks
  • Probe design projects for priority targets
  • Targeted amplicon sequencing panel design (Illumina/ONT)
  • Documentation and deliverables for lab execution

Software development

  • Custom algorithms for primer/probe design and filtering
  • Automation of assay workflows and reporting
  • Tools tailored to customer pipelines and databases
  • Containerized or web-based delivery (where appropriate)

DNA & RNA extraction services

  • Extraction from diverse sources and tissue amounts
  • Process options for challenging sample matrices
  • QC checkpoints aligned to downstream needs
  • Cost-effective outsourcing for routine workflows

If you need a strict chemistry constraint (e.g., no phenol/chloroform), mention it and we will propose an approach.

How to request a design
Send targets (FASTA or coordinates), organism/build, assay type (PCR/qPCR/multiplex), desired amplicon length range, and constraints (chemistry, SNP position, panel size).
