Measure gene expression levels or quantify microorganism abundances with our qPCR service

AllGenetics' qPCR service takes advantage of quantitative real-time PCR. This technique is the most widely spread method to measure gene expression levels, as well as detect and estimate the abundance of microorganisms in environmental and clinical samples. qPCR is a highly specific, quick, and cost-effective method. It monitors the fluorescence within a PCR reaction and correlates it to the amount of target DNA synthesised in the sample.

At AllGenetics we can design and test tailored qPCR assays for a great variety of research applications.

This graph shows the different steps of the AllGenetics' qPCR service. Therefore it shows a typical workflow of a qPCR experiment, including RNA isolation, cDNA retrotranscription, amplification of the target genome regions, and data analysis.

Step 1

We isolate the desired nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) from your samples. We have adapted different DNA and RNA isolation protocols, depending on the starting biological material, as well as cDNA synthesis protocols.

Step 2

We perform qPCR to amplify and quantify target DNA sequences using in-house developed primer pairs and specific fluorescent probes or SYBR Green. A pilot qPCR experiment is carried out beforehand in order to check the specificity and efficiency of the assay to set up the qPCR conditions.

Step 3

We analyse the results of qPCR to estimate the abundance of target DNA in each of the samples analysed in relation to a standard curve (absolute quantification assays) or a panel of reference genes (relative quantification assays).
