Amplification plot from 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System

Company:

LifeTechnologies

Product Name:

7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System

Catalog Number:

4351107

We wanted to perform qPCR testing to determine if treatment of a G-protein-coupled receptor with an agonist would affect the transcription of different genes. This machine worked well for us over multiple projects and generated a lot of data.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Tips

Does not have a gradient function; must test annealing temperatures in separate experiments.

Summary

The Good

Great machine, consistent.

The Bad

Lacks some features that are common to other machines.

The Bottom Line

If you want a qPCR machine that will keep running at all hours and not fail you, this is a great machine. They have been working on the software, which helps make this a better investment than before.
