Introduction
PCR array is also called functional classification chip. It combines the advantages of sensitivity and reliability of Real-time quantitative PCR and multiple genes expression level detection simultaneously of Microarray. It’s the first choice to analyze signal pathways or certain biological functions related genes expression status. PCR array is based on the method of fluorescence quantitative PCR and all primers are tested. It has advantages of simple principles, reliable results and good compatibility. The change of a certain disease, signal pathway or biological function related 84 or 372 important genes expression level could be detected quantitatively on a 96-well or 384-well plate simultaneously(others are comparison sample wells). PCR array could analyze a certain disease, signal pathway or biological process related genes expression quantitatively at one time.
The application fields of PCR array is wide, mainly includes tumor, immunity, development, metabolism, stem cell, cell biology, cell signal pathway, cardiovascular disease, miRNA target genes, etc. Species available for testing contain Homosapiens, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus ...
