QuantiGene assays for analysis of gene expression or copy number variation Quantitate up to 80 genes from cell lysates or tissue homogenates QuantiGene Singleplex Assays Accurate and precise RNA quantitation in a simple workflow QuantiGene Singleplex Assays Key benefits By quantitating mRNA or DNA directly • Fast sample prep—perform the assay directly on cell lysates or tissue from your starting sample and using a homogenates, no need for RNA purification ™ signal amplification assay, Invitrogen ™ • —detect gene expression changes smaller QuantiGene Singleplex Assays are Precisely detect subtle changes than 10% an accurate and precise method of quantitating gene expression with a • Works with difficult sample types—easily quantitate heavily degraded and simple workflow. cross-linked RNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, or quantitate RNA in blood Technical overview and workflow QuantiGene assays utilize branched • Quick turnaround—thousands of probe designs stocked; custom probes DNA (bDNA) technology that has been designed to any sequence, and ready to ship within a few days used for decades in the VERSANT™ • Superior specificity—delivers greater specificity than other common 3.0 diagnostic assays for HIV-1, HCV, technologies, and distinguishes between closely related genes due to probe and HBV. First, cells are lysed or design with several capture points along the target mRNA of interest tissue samples are homogenized to release the target RNA. Second, the • Flexibility—easily automated for use in routine compound screening oligonucleotide probe set is incubated with the target RNA and capture plate • Compatibility—works with a variety of sample types: cultured cells, whole overnight. During this incubation, the blood, PAXgene™ blood, dried blood spots, fresh or frozen animal or plant probes cooperatively hybridize to the tissues, FFPE samples, and purified RNA, using standard instrumentation target and capture probes bound to (microplate luminometer and a horizontal airflow oven) the plate, capturing the target RNA.
