METHOD FOR OPERATING A COMPUTER AND/OR COMPUTER NETWORK TO DISTRIBUTE BIOTECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS

摘要

A method for distributing a product to a consumer includes utilizing a computer network to interact with the consumer to obtain information that includes at least one target nucleic acid sequence; providing a forward prim er sequence, a reverse primer sequence and a probe sequence having specified characteristics, wherein the forward primer sequence and the reverse primer sequence together define an amplicon sequence, the amplicon lies within the target nucleic acid sequence, and the probe sequence is complementary to a portion of the amplicon sequence; manufacturing at least one assay that includes a forward primer in accordance with the forward primer sequence, a reverse primer in accordance with the reverse primer sequence, and a probe i n accordance with the probe sequence; validating one or more of the forward primer, the reverse primer, and the probe; and delivering the manufactured assay to the consumer.
