Beacon Designer designs primers and probes for real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assays. It is compatible to work on Windows as well as on Mac. The software currently supports the following real-time PCR chemistries for primer and probe design:

* SYBR Green
* TaqMan
* Molecular beacon
* HRMA Primers
* Scorpions
* FRET
* LNA (Locked nucleic acid)
* NASBA

Beacon Designer program has built-in support for homology avoidance using the standard web BLAST service or the set-up of a desktop BLAST feature for the identification of regions that are significantly cross-homologous with the target gene sequence. The software designs real-time PCR primers and probes for complex differential gene expression and allele discrimination assays.

Beacon Designer has been used in workshops and conferences related to real-time PCR study as a reference software.
