What is TaqMan array?
Abstract. TaqMan Array Cards are high-throughput, accurate, sensitive, and simple-to-use tools for quantitative analysis of mRNA or miRNA transcripts using a real-time PCR protocol. They utilize a microfluidic card with 384 reaction chambers and eight sample loading ports.
How does TaqMan work?
TaqMan probes consist of a fluorophore covalently attached to the 5′-end of the oligonucleotide probe and a quencher at the 3′-end. Degradation of the probe releases the fluorophore from it and breaks the proximity to the quencher, thus relieving the quenching effect and allowing fluorescence of the fluorophore.
What is TaqMan Low Density Array?
Background: TaqMan low density array (LDA) is promising for high throughput screening in functional genomics by simultaneously measuring mRNA expression of multiple genes. Conclusions: LDA is a roughly robust method for gene quantification in colorectal cancer, but its reproducibility decreased in low copy genes.
What is TaqMan technology?
TaqMan PCR is a type of real-time PCR and uses a nucleic acid probe complementary to an internal segment of the target DNA. The probe is labeled with two fluorescent moieties. The emission spectrum of one overlaps the excitation spectrum of the other, resulting in “quenching” of the first fluorophore by the second.
What is TaqMan Mastermix?
TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix is the ideal reagent solution when you need a master mix for multiple 5′ nuclease DNA applications. Applied Biosystems reagents have been validated with TaqMan assays and Applied Biosystems real-time systems to ensure sensitive, accurate, and reliable performance every time.
What is the principle of PCR?
Principle of PCR The PCR technique is based on the enzymatic replication of DNA. In PCR, a short segment of DNA is amplified using primer mediated enzymes. DNA Polymerase synthesises new strands of DNA complementary to the template DNA. The DNA polymerase can add a nucleotide to the pre-existing 3′-OH group only.
What can the TaqMan card and plate be used for?
Applied Biosystems TaqMan Array Cards and Plates contain TaqMan Gene Expression Assays dried down in 384-well TaqMan Array microfluidic cards and 96-well TaqMan Array plates, and OpenArray formats. These formats are suitable for gene expression screening and validation applications that require the analysis of tens to thousands of targets.
What are the different types of TaqMan array cards?
Applied Biosystems TaqMan Arrays contain TaqMan Gene Expression Assays dried down in three array formats: 384-well TaqMan Array microfluidic cards, 96- and 384-well TaqMan Array plates, and OpenArray formats.
