Real Time PCR in 17 minutes
posted in Automation, Bio Technology |
Real time PCR is responsible for the majority of DNA and RNA sequencing in clinical laboratories. This technique is used in paternity tests, forensics, and virology. The future of real time PCR just became smaller and more efficient.
...the researchers were able to isolate 30 cells implanted with the genetic information for a green-fluorescing protein from 25 µL of blood, concentrate them 100-fold, wash them, rupture them, and detect the gene for the green protein by real-time PCR—all within just 17 minutes!
