    – Primers have been designed to avoid 3′ SNPs and secondary structure (self-annealing)
    – No secondary structure in the amplicon for any assay (positive delta G)
    – Specificity has been checked by melt peak analysis and the presence of only a single band on a gel
    – Standard curves down to 10 copies per reaction have been run for each assay and all show excellent linearity (R² >0.99) Efficiency (>95%) and sensitivity (repeat of 10 copies consistently detected)
    – Primers have been tested at an annealing temperature of 57°C. Higher annealing temperatures (up to 60°C) are possible, but require individual validation
