"Visual OMP has facilitated the design of multiplex PCR primers and multiplex mini sequencing extension primers. OMP's sophisticated design algorithms saved us weeks of designing primers and calculating mis and cross hybridizations. All designed primers worked out well, no re-design was necessary. The technical support team at DNA software responded immediately to our requests and was always able to solve our specific problems." Anita Brandstätter, PhD, Institute of Legal Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Austria.

"It is very powerful software when used for multiplexing design" -- Chris Novak, Ambion.

“This was an assay I had attempted to design with my current tools, but the results required significant redesign. OMP’s in silico model was able to immediately account for, and design around, a variety of problems which would have normally taken several days or more of experimentation to resolve.” -- Scott Johnson, Senior Scientist, Eragen Biosciences Inc., speaking about a multiplex PCR reaction with 6 targets.

“Visual OMP 3 has enhanced the probe design of our microarrays because it allows us to model the secondary structures of the targets. The software has also facilitated design of multiplex PCR primers through its sophisticated design module. We have consistently received fast response times from technical support, who have been able to address our specific needs.” -- Roger Tim, Ph.D, Chemistry Manager, Biocept, Inc.

“...we have been successfully using VOMP for some time now and like it very well. We recommend it to all our friends and collaborators! We find it makes very accurate and sometime surprising (but true) predictions about binding efficiency in multiplexes.” -- David Whitcombe, Chief Scientific Officer, DxS Ltd, UK.

“I have used Visual OMP software to both develop primers and probes for Real Time PCR as well as compare performance of published primers and probes. It has become invaluable in our laboratory. Learning to use the program is time well spent, and the support staff at DNA Software is always ready and able to help.” -- Dr. Sue J. Kohlhepp, Infectious Diseases Laboratory, Chiles Research Institute, Providence Portland Medical Center.

“Our experiments require the efficient analysis of very large numbers of sequences to prevent undesired hybridization and minimize secondary structure; Visual OMP and OMP DE have been valuable tools for achieving these sequence design needs.” -- Thomas Snyder, Graduate Student with Dr. David Liu, Harvard University Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.
