Fig.1 Electrophoresis results of hexaplex primer amplification using different proportions of fresh blood added to the blood direct amplification kits from Qihengxing and supplier T.

The blood direct amplification kits from Qihengxing and supplier T were used to perform direct amplification with 6 primers on fresh EDTA anticoagulated blood in different proportions, namely 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. The amplified fragment ranged from 200 to 800 bp, and the GC% ranged from 35% to 77%. After 35 cycles of amplification, the PCR products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis.

The results show that Qihengxing Blood Direct Amplification Kit is superior to supplier T in terms of product quantity and amplification uniformity. .
