Applied Biosystems Micro Fluidic Card Getting Started Guide 15
Preparing and Running the Micro Fluidic Cards
(PCR)
Summary
Amplification of cDNA is the second step in the two-step RT-PCR
experiment. In this step, the sample-specific PCR mix is loaded into a
Micro Fluidic Card. The Micro Fluidic Card is run on the 7900HT
system, where AmpliTaq Gold
®
DNA polymerase amplifies the
cDNA synthesized from the original total RNA sample.
Where You Are in
the Procedure
You
Are Here
1. Prepare the cDNA samples
for the real-time PCR run
(sample-specific PCR mix).
2. Pipette the sample-
specific PCR mix into a
Micro Fluidic Card.
3. Centrifuge the Micro
Fluidic Card.
4. Seal the Micro Fluidic Card
and trim-off fill reservoirs.
5. Create a Micro Fluidic
Card document.
– If you are using SDS
2.1 Software to analyze
results, create a relative
quantification
document.
– If you are using custom
software to analyze
results, create an
absolute quantification
document.
6. Perform the run.
