Real-Time PCR Detection for Gene Expression Analysis

Real-Time PCR (real-time QPCR) has become a popular method for nucleic acid quantification due to its simplicity, accurate quantitation, and no need for post PCR processing. Among the real-time PCR detection techniques, SYBR® Green and Taqman® are the most widely used.


Understanding Microarray Performance Parameters, Part One: Sensitivity

Comparing performance among different DNA microarray systems is often a challenging and confusing task for end users. The challenge is due to a lack of standards for describing performance parameters, which can be defined in different ways. This discussion - first in a series - is an overview of how microarray sensitivity performance is defined and described.


PCR and Real-Time PCR: Analyzing Gene Expression & Verifying DNA Microarray Data

SABiosciences has developed high quality gene-specific primer sets for convenient and genome-wide RT-PCR expression analysis. We currently offer two formats of gene-specific RT-PCR assay kits:

  • SingleGene™ PCR Kits for gel-based end-point PCR analysis
  • RT˛ Real-Time™ Gene Expression Assay Kits for real-time PCR analysis.

New Pathway-Focused DNA Microarrays for 2004

We have introduced several interesting new DNA microarrays since the beginning of this year, with gene content focused on important pathways and gene families in immunology and diabetes.
