What is real time thermal cycler?
Real-Time Thermal Cyclers. Real-time PCR thermal cyclers/thermocyclers carry out quantitative PCR (qPCR) for experiments in gene expression, genetic variation, genotyping, and specific detection of rare targets, bacteria, and viruses.
What is QuantStudio used for?
The QuantStudio 3 and 5 systems can be used for a wide range of applications including genotyping, miRNA and gene expression analysis, presence/absence detection, strain identification, and melt curve analysis. The instruments permit multiplex experiments for all of these applications.
How fast is RT PCR?
The real time RT–PCR technique is highly sensitive and specific and can deliver a reliable diagnosis in as little as three hours, though laboratories take on average between six and eight hours.
How does QuantStudio 5 work?
The QuantStudio™ 5 Real-Time PCR Instrument uses fluorescence-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reagents to perform: Quantitative detection of target nucleic acid sequences (targets). Qualitative detection of targets (endpoint analysis, genotyping, and presence/absence).
Why is it called real-time PCR?
In order to robustly detect and quantify gene expression from small amounts of RNA, amplification of the gene transcript is necessary. This measurement is made after each amplification cycle, and this is the reason why this method is called real time PCR (that is, immediate or simultaneous PCR).
