What are the advantages
of the MGB probe technology?
Specific
MGB increases the Tm of a probe thanks to its minor groove binding ability and offer a very high specificity toward its complementary sequence.
Sensitive
MGB-Eclipse™ Probes display a very high signal to noise ratio ensuring the detection of low copy targets.
Efficient
License-free MGB-Eclipse™ Probes are perfectly suited for patient management and diagnostic of pathogens.

What are MGB Probes?
An MGB probe is a DNA probe with a minor groove binder conjugated at the 3’end, and a fluorescent reporter dye at the 5’end. Additionally, an Eclipse™ quencher (EDQ) is linked to the 3’end.
The presence of the MGB moiety stabilizes the duplex probe-target, resulting in an increased Tm. A shorter probe can be designed, reinforcing the specificity of the qPCR Assay.
MGB Probe Principle
Based on the TaqMan™ technology, the 5'-3' exonuclease activity of the Taq DNA polymerase cleaves the fluorophore from the probe during the amplification process. Since the fluorophore is no longer subjected to FRET quenching, it starts to fluoresce. This fluorescence can be measured, and the level is directly proportional to the amount of target DNA accumulating during the PCR reaction
