Labeled with LightCycler® Yellow 555 at the 5' end and a dark quencher dye near the 3' end, the UPL reference gene probes can be detected using real-time PCR instruments with excitation filters of 470 nm to 530 nm and emission filters of 550 nm to 610 nm. In multiplex assays, a standard FAM or SYBR Green I filter is used as the first channel to detect FAM-labeled UPL probes for the gene of interest, and a longer-wavelength emission filter (usually 560 nm or 568 nm) is used as the second channel to detect UPL reference gene probes.
