HRM SIGNATURE

Ultra-high multiplex microbial species identification

Think small. Very small. TAAG's HRM SIGNATURE Technology is a microbiology laboratory in the tip of a pencil. Identify targets from a growing database of over 100 bacteria and fungi, all in two PCR wells.

Melting curve
High-Resolution

Melting Curve Signatures interpreted by AI

High-Resolution Melting Curve analysis is a powerful method that examines the unique melting temperature patterns of DNA fragments to identify targets. Using the pattern-recognition abilities of artifical intelligence, we have developed a novel implementation of HRM for ultra-high multiplex target identification.

Multiplexing without probes for a fraction of the cost per reaction

TAAG's HRM Signature technology allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets per reaction, without the use of expensive hydrolysis probes.

Unique melting curves
interpreted by AI

Each target is identified using a distinctive melting curve "fingerprint" that is matched to our growing database of organisms by machine learning algorithms.

AI PCR

Add your custom targets to an ever-expanding library of organisms

We can experimentally fingerprint any bacterial or fungal species and add it to our database of organisms for detection.

How it works

Petri dish
High resolution melting curve

The target is amplified by broad-range PCR (also known as universal PCR) in a way that generates a mixture of fragments with different melting temperatures.

Multiplex pcr

The reaction temperature is slowly increased while recording fluorescence to generate a high-resolution melt “signature”.

Sensitivity vs specificity

TxA’s artificial intelligence matches curves to a library of experimentally determined patterns for organisms of interest.
