Hi ,

I would like to suggest you to use Primer Premier software from PREMIER Biosoft International . To check for a number of primers in a reaction i.e., for a multiplex/nested PCR, you can analyze as many primers as you want, using Multiplex/Nested function.

Best wishes

The following site has a primer design tool for multiplex PCR. It is kind of slow, you would need to limit to a few pairs of primers and not too long PCR products:

Hi,
I agree with synthia's suggestion, Primer Premier is a good software and one can download it from http://www.premierbiosoft.com/primerdesign/index.html
for free and request for a time limited key, this compnay also has a molecular beacon software, Beacon Designer which is also very interesting, http://www.premierbiosoft.com/molecular_beacons/index.html
