qPCR
Services

Providing quantitative information on known DNA and RNA targets, qPCR is one of the workhorse tools for pre-clinical and clinical studies. Precision offers a suite of qPCR applications, including genotyping assays, copy number variation assays, and gene expression profiling using the QuantStudio™ 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System.

Precision’s qPCR DNA and RNA analysis capabilities

Applications

We can design, validate, and implement a wide range of qPCR assays including:

  • Genotyping: typically used to assess a specific group of genes when abnormalities are well-known in advance
  • Copy number variation: useful to screen specific genes when gene amplification of deletion is suspected
  • Gene expression profiling: measure difference of expression levels of a specific group of genes
  • SNP analysis

We also specialize in challenging applications such as RNA isolation from rare cells and analysis using endpoint qRT-PCR (relative, or comparative).

Global reach, multi-site support
  • Our qPCR services support preclinical and clinical research, including multi-site studies, conducted anywhere in the world.
Instrumentation

Precision utilizes QuantStudio 12K Flex qPCR instrumentation in conjunction with OpenArray™ technology.

OpenArray is an affordable technology that minimizes reagent use and is equivalent to running 32 384-well plates, generating 12,000 data points.

Working with Precision

Precision’s specialty lab scientists take a collaborative and consultative approach to projects and can provide recommendations on biomarker assay strategies and implementation, such as choosing the best genomics platform for your study.

Services can be provided individually or as part of a comprehensive therapeutic development package including biomarker assays and clinical trials.

Droplet Digital™ PCR (ddPCR)

Droplet Digital PCR is especially well-suited for studies where absolute quantification at low concentrations is necessary. Example uses are to detect cell-free DNA in liquid biopsy, or to measure CAR-T biodistribution.

NanoString Assays

With panels that enable the simultaneous analysis of up to 800 genes, NanoString profiling is ideal for projects where highly multiplexed analysis is needed, such as oncology and autoimmune therapeutic development.

Next Generation Sequencing

We offer NGS services including RNA-seq, whole exome sequencing, and targeted DNA/RNA sequencing services. NGS can be especially powerful when paired with our liquid biopsy technology, ApoStream.
