Quantitative Real-Time PCR
DSF is proud to offer three, self-service Applied Biosystems ViiA 7 instruments with QuantStudio Real-Time software v1.3 for quantitative real-time PCR analysis. These instruments allow researchers to analyze gene expression with SYBR Green, as well as do allelic discrimination and SNP analysis with TaqMan assays. All three machines can process both 96- and 384-well plates. Instrument use costs $10/hr, which covers the cost of expensive service contracts, user training, and quality control assays.
All users MUST be trained by the DSF manager prior to first use. Please request training via the "Available Resources" panel of your FBS Dashboard or by sending an email to dsfcore@austin.utexas.edu. The training takes about 30 minutes and does not require samples.
Instrument reservations MUST be made, and made via the FBS scheduling calendar HERE. The instruments are available 24/7 in MBB 1.426T. Please send an email to dsfcore@austin.utexas.edu to request after-hours ID access to the MBB 1.426 facility.
