Known limitations of the Copy Amplicons function

  • Custom amplicons from a private design that is shared with you by a colleague cannot be copied using the Add Amplicon By ID form or the Upload File method. Amplicons can only be copied using the Copy Amplicons button and dialog boxes in the user interface.

  • The following DNA panels are not compatible for use with the Copy Amplicons function.

    • HID—Precision ID Identity Panel (Cat. No. A25643)

    • HID—Precision ID Ancestry Panel (Cat. No. A25642)

    • Ion AmpliSeq™ Exome RDY Kit (Cat. No. A38262)

    • Ion AmpliSeq™ Colon and Lung Cancer Panel

    • Ion AmpliSeq™ On-Demand panels

    • Oncomine™ tumor specific panels

  • RNA panels are also not compatible for use with the Copy Amplicons function, because RNA designs are based on predesigned primers for every transcript in our database. For RNA designs, use the Copy Targets function to create Made-to-Order RNA designs containing the same amplicons.

  • Amplicons that are greater than 200 bp in size cannot be copied to Ion AmpliSeq™ HD designs.
