Consistent Results across Real-Time Instrument Platforms
Sensitive and efficient gene expression analysis on any real-time PCR instrument. The β-actin gene was amplified from HeLa cDNA (100 ng–100 fg) using iTaq™ universal SYBR® Green supermix on several real-time instruments. A, Bio-Rad® CFX96™ real-time PCR detection system; B, Bio-Rad® iQ™5 real-time PCR detection system; C, ABI 7900 real-time PCR system; D, ABI 7500 fast real-time PCR system; E, ABI ViiA7 real-time PCR system; F, ABI StepOnePlus real-time PCR system. This supermix showed excellent β-actin efficiencies, R2, and slopes on all platforms (>90% efficiency, R2 > 0.990, slope between –3.20 and –3.58). RFU, relative fluorescence units.
