Performance of Applied Biosystems™ consumables on Bio-Rad CFX™ Real-Time PCR Detection System February 15, 2017
Applied Biosystems™ Consumables on Bio-Rad CFX™ Demonstrate performance of Applied Biosystems consumables on the Bio- Rad CFX (96 & 384 well) instruments. TaqMan® Fast Advanced Master Mix with TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays Singleplex vs Duplex Performance Reproducibility Dynamic Range Power Up™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix Specificity
Materials TaqMan® Fast Advanced master mix Assays: 18S Hs99999901_s1 VIC-Primer limited GPR6 Hs00920605_s1 FAM PPIA Hs99999904_m1 FAM YWHAZ Hs03044281_g1 FAM cDNA: UHR PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix Targets (all primers run at final concentration of 300nM) A2M APOA1 ABCC2 ARL1 ADAM10 C11orf30 AOF1 PGK1 cDNA: Liver All reactions run in quadruplicates CFX96 – 20ul rxns CFX384 – 10ul rxns
FAMM protocol on Bio-Rad CFX96™ or CFX384™ Protocol run with FAMM is boxed in black. No changes need to be made to run Applied Biosystems™ master mix and assays on the Bio-Rad CFX 96/384 instruments.
Singleplex vs Duplex Performance 3 genes + 18S Average dCq between singleplex & duplex are comparable. T-Test shows no significant difference between singleplex & duplex There are no setting for ROX – so data is not normalized to ROX Only difference in graphs is that one has target labels next to data points, and the other has target names on X axis GPR6 PPIA YWHAZ
Reproducibility Data shows excellent reproducibility From dynamic range 18S, PPIA, GAPDH From singleplex data 18S PPIA GPR6 YWHAZ
FAMM 6 log dynamic range PPIA 18S Dynamic range is likely wider, but didn’t run higher concentrations of cDNA
FAMM – 18S (VIC Primer limited)
FAMM – PPIA
FAMM - GAPDH
