New System for Improving QPCR

Stratagene has improved upon currently available QPCR machines with the Mx4000 multiplex quantitative PCR system. This new system offers better performance and functionality at a more economical price.

Real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) allows researchers to quickly and easily quantify nucleic acids for studying gene expression, mutational analysis, disease state, and gene dosage. QPCR measures PCR product accumulation during the exponential phase of the reaction using fluorescence data and provides accurate information on initial starting copy number. PCR amplification and detection are combined in a single step, speeding the process of gathering experimental data. The QPCR process uses a single closed tube, which eliminates the need for numerous post-PCR manual steps, and reduces the possibility of introducing variability or laboratory contamination.

• Exceptional reliability and reproducibility
• Real-time plots while your PCR progresses
• Superior dye discrimination
• Better temperature uniformity
• Economical price

Flexible System with More Features

The Mx4000 system detects multiple fluorescent PCR chemistries and combines the capabilities of a microplate fluorescence reader with a PCR thermal cycler into a single real-time detection system. The system includes an integrated, high-performance, proprietary thermal system and a multiple-fluorophore excitation and emission detection system. Applications include allelic discrimination, plate reads, melting curves, and quantification of single or multiplexed targets.
