KIT FOR DETECTING A MUTATED TARGET BASE SEQUENCE

Kits for detecting a mutated target base sequence are provided. For example, the kits can be for detecting a target base sequence (A) containing a nucleotide with a mutated base from a nucleic acid sample. The kits contain a fluorescent-labeled detection probe and a competitive probe combination that is to improve detection by reducing noise. The probe combination is produced using a process that includes, for example, determining the base length and the base sequence of each of the fluorescent-labeled detection probe and the competitive probe. The determining can include experimentally determining the amount to be added to the nucleic acid sample of each of the fluorescent-labeled detection probe and the competitive probe. The kits provide a functional result of a first order derivative curve for the control target reaction sample having a substantial peak (maximum value), but a first order derivative curve for the control non-target reaction sample not having a substantial peak, the functional result improving detection by reducing noise.
