Reaction condition compositions for detecting a genomic variation from a small sample amount from 5 nano grams (ng) to 1 microgram (ug) includes DNA ligase, DNA polymerase, at least one COP, a DNA polymerase buffer, NAD+, at least two primers, and deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs). Detection of the genomic variation utilizes COPs with increased ligation efficiency and RCA with fluorescence detection due to simultaneous ligation of COPs to CPs and replication of the genomic variation. The reaction condition composition eliminates the need to perform background reduction of un-hybridized or un-ligated COPs.

Reaction condition composition for circularizing oligonucleotide probes

A capsule to store and deliver lyophilized reagents is described. The lyophilized reagent capsule is configured to store a lyophilized reagent for at least five days, and is further configured to deliver a lyophilized reagent to a biological sample. The capsule includes a top, a bottom, and a lyophilized reagent. A method for delivering the lyophilized reagent via the capsule and without the use of pipettes to deliver the lyophilized reagents is described. The capsule may be part of a lyophilized reagent capsule kit.
