MLPA® (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) is the gold standard for DNA copy number quantification and is used to study both hereditary disorders and tumours. MLPA can also be used to determine if a known mutation is present in the DNA or to investigate the methylation status of DNA sequences. MRC-Holland, the inventor and exclusive manufacturer of MLPA assays, offers more than 400 different MLPA panels used for DNA copy number quantification, mutation identification, and DNA methylation status.

Coffalyser.Net™ is free, user-friendly MLPA analysis software developed and supported by MRC Holland to help you get the most out of your data.
An advanced system of quality checks designed specifically for MLPA helps you evaluate everything from the quality of the fragment separation and the MLPA reaction to the reproducibility of your reference samples. These checks help prevent you from inadvertently drawing conclusions based on poor data, and boosts your confidence in the reliability of your results.
Coffalyser.Net allows you to visualise and analyse your data in multiple ways. You can look at electropherograms, tables, or focus on charts with copy number ratios. For more complex cases and troubleshooting, you can view the results of intermediate analysis steps. To discuss or store your results, you can export a summary as PDF.
The latest information about our products can be retrieved directly from our servers from within Coffalyser.Net. This ensures that you can start analyzing right after receiving a new product. Updates to Coffalyser.Net are, and always will be, free, ensuring that you always profit from the latest insights.
We fully support Coffalyser.Net. We are always happy to answer your questions on how to use the software, and to help you troubleshoot difficult data.
