Check Primers Against Template
Paste or upload primer pairs (FASTA, CSV, TSV, or Primer-BLAST report). The tool aligns them against your template and provides full thermodynamic analysis — Tm, GC%, hairpin ΔG, self-dimer ΔG, cross-dimer ΔG — with ranked recommendations.

Primers to Check
A few things worth knowing before you check primers
VigyanLLM is a free online PCR analysis tool that checks primer pairs against any DNA template using the Tm nearest-neighbor model (SantaLucia 1998) and Primer3-based ΔG calculations. Unlike standard web primer checkers, it supports Primer-BLAST reports, auto-design CSV exports, and CSV/TSV/FASTA formats with automatic detection.
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Template sequence (DNA 5'→3') | Alignment identity %, mismatch count, start position |
| Primer pairs (FASTA/CSV/TSV/Primer-BLAST) | Tm (°C), GC%, hairpin ΔG, self-dimer ΔG, 3' GC clamp |
| Batch primer list (multiple pairs) | Cross-dimer ΔG, Tm delta, suggested annealing Ta, ranked score |
| Primer-BLAST export report | Automatic format detection, downloadable CSV |
