Is the ArrayPlate™ platform right for my research?
Any researcher who is looking to analyze gene expression in a large number of samples for specific gene targets should benefit from using the qNPA ArrayPlate Platform. The ArrayPlate may be especially useful in your research if you are:
- Using large amounts of multiplexed qRT-PCR
- Performing TaqMan® or similar experiments on multiple genes
- Analyzing many samples with microarrays
The ArrayPlate™ platform is designed to be a high throughput assay performed with robotic liquid handling equipment. It is ideally suited to analyze gene targets identified and validated using lower throughput systems. We have found that most of our customers:
- Have used microarrays to identify their initial genes of interest
- Examine a relatively small number of genes to analyze per follow-up sample
- Intend to examine at least 500 samples per experiment
They have turned to using the ArrayPlate Platform due to its fast and simple protocol, low cost per data point, and highly reliable data. Customers with other research needs may benefit from our ArrayPlate or qNPA technologies as well. Please contact your regional account representative to find out if HTG has a solution for your research goals.
