Primer design tips

Good primer design is essential for a successful PCR reaction. There are many factors to take into account when designing the optimal primers for your gene of interest. Here are some tips to consider when designing primers.

Primer design tips

In general, a length of 18–30 nucleotides for primers is good.
Try to make the melting temperature (T_m) of the primers between 65°C and 75°C, and within 5°C of each other.
If the T_m of your primer is very low, try to find a sequence with more GC content, or extend the length of the primer a little.
Aim for the GC content to be between 40 and 60%, with the 3' of a primer ending in C or G to promote binding.
Typically, 3 to 4 nucleotides are added 5' of the restriction enzyme site in the primer to allow for efficient cutting.
Try to avoid regions of secondary structure, and have a balanced distribution of GC-rich and AT-rich domains.
Try to avoid runs of 4 or more of one base, or dinucleotide repeats (for example, ACCCC or ATATATAT).
Avoid intra-primer homology (more than 3 bases that complement within the primer) or inter-primer homology (forward and reverse primers having complementary sequences). These circumstances can lead to self-dimers or primer-dimers instead of annealing to the desired DNA sequences.
If you are using the primers for cloning, we recommend cartridge purification as a minimum level of purification.
If you are using the primers for mutagenesis, try to have the mismatched bases towards the middle of the primer.
If you are using the primers for a PCR reaction to be used in Invitrogen TOPO cloning, the primers should not have a phosphate modification.

OligoPerfect Designer

Invitrogen OligoPerfect Designer is a free, simple, and efficient Primer 3–based, cloud-based primer design tool that works with up to 50 DNA template sequences you upload. Like Vector NTI Advance software, OligoPerfect Designer is seamlessly connected to our online ordering system, so you never have to cut and paste sequences.

Primer Designer Tool

ThePrimer Designer Tool lets you quickly search for, configure and order primers for the Sanger confirmation step of your NGS workflow. The database consists of ~650,000 pre-designed primer pairs for re-sequencing the human exome and human mitochondrial genome.

Our primers are free of SNPs and primer-dimers, highly target-specific, and used under universal PCR conditions
