Real-Time PCR License Enables SABiosciences to Provide 100 Pathway-Focused PCR Arrays for all ABI, BioRad, Stratagene, Eppendorf, and Roche Instruments
Frederick, MD. June 13, 2007 - SABiosciences Corporation announces
that its catalog of over 100 PCR Arrays, focused on pathways such as apoptosis,
cancer, immunology, signal transduction and more, now accommodates almost every
96- or 384-well ABI, BioRad, Stratagene, Eppendorf, and Roche real-time PCR
instrument thanks to the recently signed real-time PCR licensing agreement with
Applera.
Efforts by many biological research labs to perform pathway-focused gene
expression has been hampered by the variety of real-time PCR instruments in the
marketplace and their associated differences in block formats and filters.
SABiosciences has met this challenge, providing both PCR Arrays in different
instrument-specific plate types and master mix formulations with or without
various reference dyes for every major 96- or 384-well real-time PCR platform.
PCR Arrays are powerful biological research tools allowing investigators to
analyze the expression of a focused panel of 84 genes by using any real-time PCR
instrument like a microarray. Each 96- or 384-well PCR Array contains SYBR
Green-optimized qPCR Primer Assays for a thoroughly researched panel of
relevant, pathway- or disease-focused genes. A combination of high-quality
primer design and optimized master mix formulation enables the PCR Arrays to
amplify 96 different gene-specific products simultaneously under uniform cycling
conditions with the high levels of specificity and amplification efficiencies
required for accurate real-time SYBR Green results.
"We are very excited about the impact that PCR Arrays can make in
biomedical research," said Dave Martz, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at SABiosciences. "Researchers now have an easy way to
look at specific genes across an entire pathway of interest using whatever
instrument is available to them. The completion of the real-time PCR licensing
agreement has really given us the power to meet the needs of today's biological
research with our PCR Arrays."
SABiosciences plans to continue expanding its collection of cataloged PCR Arrays
for the ABI, BioRad, Stratagene, Eppendorf, and Roche real-time instruments with
more biological pathways and to easily convert researchers' own preferred gene
lists into convenient, affordable customized PCR Arrays.
