Customised reaction plates for TaqMan applications

Applied Biosystems has announced the worldwide availability of new gene expression analysis tools that claim added flexibility and greater efficiency in performing experiments that identify and quantify key genes in biological samples. The TaqMan Express plates are 96-well reaction plates containing dried-down versions of more than 50,000 Applied Biosystems’ TaqMan gene expression assays, in customised sets.

The new tools have been developed to make the application of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) TaqMan assays more accessible to a wider range of users. Real-time PCR performed with TaqMan gene expression assays is a widely used laboratory method for detecting and quantifying nucleic acids in samples. Applications of TaqMan gene expression assays include microarray validation, RNA interference (RNAi), candidate gene studies and biological pathway studies.

Applied Biosystems developed the new TaqMan Express plates so that users can choose gene targets of interest from the company’s broad collection of TaqMan gene expression assays, and then select the well location for those assays to be dried down on the reaction plates.
