The document describes a mutation detection process that uses the AdvanCETM FS CE System for rapid and automated detection of point mutations. The process involves PCR amplification, heteroduplex formation, enzyme digestion, and capillary electrophoresis separation that takes only 4.5 hours with minimal hands-on time. This is significantly faster and less labor-intensive than traditional slab gel methods that require 9 hours and over 2 hours of hands-on work. The automated process eliminates cleanup steps, labeled primers, and fragile glass plates to streamline mutation detection.
