Note: If you select the Double-Stranded checkbox in the Sequence tab, both sense and

sequence only.
Finding Primers To find primers:
Select Tools > Find Primers/Probes ( ). Primer Express software performs its
calculations based on default parameter values.
The status bar, located at the bottom of the window, displays information about the
progress of the calculations as the software searches for primer/probe sets. If primers are
found, go to “Viewing Results” on page 21.
If primers were not found:
If the software does not find primers using default parameters, a pop-up will appear
stating that no acceptable primer pairs were found and that you can see the Interim
Results window. For more information on Interim Results, see Primer Express Software
Version 3.0 Online Help.
