Scale appropriately. Before you begin: 1. Plan your plate. In an excel spreadsheet qPCR plate template here! Print it off. This is important with large plates. Recommend a nM final concentration for the primers 0. Try out others if desired. Basic steps for loading a qPCR plate: 1. Mark up your qPCR plate with a Sharpie.
See example below. Other tips: keep track of what wells you have visited by referring to your print out and by matching the tip you are taking from your tip box with the well on the plate. Each lists the specific catalog number, total volume and concentration of master mix included, and number of reactions obtained with frequently utilized reaction volumes.
One-step reverse transcription kits perform the reverse transcriptase step in the same tube as the qPCR reaction. We offer kits for both probe- and TB Green-based detection. All master mixes included are in a 2X format. All master mixes are in a 5X format. Our probe-based qPCR kits give high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. All master mixes are in a 2X format. This versatile dye can be used with normal methods and equipment with no need for protocol modifications.
Currently, qPCR experiments are becoming increasingly complex—involving an expansive and growing list of targets from a larger number of samples, all with more technical replicates. The SmartChip Real-Time PCR System is a complete high-throughput solution that enables an unrivaled amount of flexible assay and sample formats, allowing researchers to seamlessly switch between dispensing assay reagents and samples into blank chips, or dispensing samples into custom, preprinted chips without the need for revalidation.

Choosing total RNA vs. Primers for Reverse Transcription Three different approaches can be used for priming cDNA reactions in two-step assays: oligo dT primers, random primers, or sequence specific primers Figure 2, Table 2.
Table 2. Combining random primers and anchored oligo dT primers improves the reverse transcription efficiency and qPCR sensitivity. This step is recommended if the RNA template has a high degree of secondary structure.
Scientists have had a love-hate relationship with PCR amplification for decades. There are several parameters that can influence the success of your PCR assay. Looking for more guidance on different types of PCR?
