Inclusion of a positive sample in each MLPA or digitalMLPA experiment is not required, but can be useful for the analysis of your experiments. MRC Holland has very limited access to positive samples and cannot supply such samples. You can sometimes obtain a useful positive sample from an online biorepository, such as the one from the Coriell Institute.
We have tested a large number of commercially available positive samples with our MLPA or digitalMLPA probemixes. A list of positive samples that provide useful results and their verified copy number change(s) can be found in the table below. These samples can be used as positive control samples for the specified probemix(es). You are welcome to contact us if you know of other positive samples that can be useful for one of our probemixes.
Important
The quality of cell lines can change, and these samples are not controlled by us. In addition, exon numbering may change and the table may contain inaccuracies. Therefore, all samples should be validated in-house before use.
Notes:
- All samples can be obtained from the Coriell Institute or DSMZ unless noted otherwise. You can find these samples by searching for the sample id on the appropriate website.
- Samples obtained from the Coriell Institute can often be diluted to 10 ng/µl upon arrival.
- Probemixes are specified by their major version. Read more about version numbers of probemixes in this article.
