qPCR

Whether you are part of a small academic lab or a multinational corporation, upgrading to a new quantitative PCR (qPCR) system can be both exciting and daunting. How will the new system perform compared to your current platform? Will your existing workflows translate smoothly? Read on to learn about our recent bridging study for users considering upgrading to the new CFX Opus Real-Time PCR System.

Bio-Rad is proud to introduce our new RT-PCR testing kits for COVID-19. These all-in-one kits are designed for sensitive, specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 alone, or simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B. Read on to learn about each kit’s features.

The Reliance Select cDNA Synthesis Kit is the newest reverse transcription product from Bio-Rad. This high-performance kit features Reliance Reverse Transcriptase, a novel chimeric enzyme that delivers superior results across a broad dynamic range, even with challenging samples. The Reliance Select cDNA Synthesis Kit delivers more accurate reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results, even from samples containing PCR inhibitors or degraded RNA.

Coming soon: The next iteration in Bio-Rad’s tradition of qPCR excellence. The compact CFX Opus Real-Time PCR System is more connected, consistent, and easier to use than ever before, and is available in 96- and 384-well formats. The CFX Opus Systems launch with our new BR.io cloud platform and the latest version of CFX Maestro Software, for complete instrument control and data analysis capabilities.

Reference gene selection and validation are very important for gene expression studies that involve different samples or experimental conditions and therefore are absolutely necessary before any further exploration. See how PrimePCR Reference Gene Selection Panels and CFX Maestro Software provide an easy-to-use system with which to select appropriate reference genes.

qPCR has become ubiquitous for nucleic acid detection and quantification and remains the gold standard for a wide array of applications. To help you publish high-quality, reproducible data that reflect true experimental conditions, we’ve developed this comprehensive guide to performing the ultimate qPCR experiment.

Passive reference dyes are included in qPCR/RT-qPCR supermixes to compensate for pipetting errors and thermal and/or optical differences in real-time instruments. Our universal line of reagents eliminates the need for spiking in dyes or having to worry about how much ROX your instrument needs. See how your qPCR experiments can also generate more reliable data and be reproducible by anyone.
