Product information "Direct MTHFR1 Genotyping PCR Kit"
rs1801131, MTHFR A1298C Mutation - Fast, Real-Time Detection Without DNA Isolation
Designed for the precise identification of the MTHFR SNP A1298C (rs1801131), this kit supports the detection of a genetic variant linked to reduced activity of the MTHFR enzyme, which is crucial for folate metabolism and maintaining optimal homocysteine levels. Identifying carriers allows for targeted nutritional interventions to prevent related cardiovascular and neurological conditions.
The Genaxxon Direct MTHFR1 Genotyping PCR Kit enables real-time genotyping without the need for prior DNA isolation, allowing for a faster and more cost-effective workflow.
Key Features & Benefits
- No DNA extraction required – Perform direct PCR from crude samples such as saliva, oral swabs, blood, and urine.
- Genotyping in real-time – Rapid and efficient workflow without time-consuming DNA isolation.
- Hot-start formulation – Enables convenient room-temperature reaction setup.
- Platform-independent – Compatible with all modern real-time PCR cyclers.

How does it work?
Shown is exemplary genotyping data from two different blood samples.
The green melting curve originates from an EDTA blood sample and shows a single melting peak at 66 °C. This clearly indicates the presence of a homozygous wild-type genotype.
In contrast, the blue melting curve from another EDTA blood sample displays two distinct melting peaks—one at the same temperature as the green wild-type sample (66 °C), and a second at a significantly lower temperature (54 °C). The presence of two peaks is characteristic of a heterozygous genotype, indicating that two different alleles are present in the sample.
A single melting peak at the lower temperature would, in turn, indicate the presence of a homozygous mutant genotype.
Please note: minor shifts in melting temperatures can occur due to variations in salt concentration and pH in crude samples, which may influence the melting behavior slightly.

Quality is our top priority. Our raw material suppliers are regularly audited and maintain active quality management systems according to ISO 13485. Through internal quality controls, stability tests, controlled storage conditions, and guaranteed traceability, we ensure that we deliver only the highest quality products.
It’s possible that amplification curves are not visible, but this is not an issue. Please rely on the melting curves to determine the genotype of the respective sample. Always run postive and negative controls aside with each PCR experiment.
Yes, our kits are specifically designed for maximum compatibility. All our genotyping assays can run with the same PCR protocol.
Our kits are designed to be platform-independent and system-open. They are compatible with a variety of real-time PCR cyclers. Essentially, any cycler capable of detecting fluorescence in the FAM channel and performing a melting curve analysis will work for most assays. If you're unsure, feel free to contact our technical support (info@genaxxon.com).
Genotyping is determined by analyzing the melting curves. Analyze the melting peak temperature and the number of peaks. Two peaks indicate a heterozygous genotype, while a single peak suggests homozygosity. The exact genotype can be determined using the melting temperature. Please refer to the specified melting temperatures in the manual for each genotyping kit.
Our Genotyping Kits are designed for a variety of sample materials. The advantage of our kits is that you don't need to purify or extract the DNA – you can directly add the diluted sample to the PCR. This saves time and effort! If you have particularly valuable sample material, you can of course also use purified samples. Detailed instructions for compatible sample types can be found in our manuals at each product page.
