Description
The Applied Biosystems ViiA
™
7 Real-Time PCR System uses
fluorescent-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reagents to
provide:
• Quantitative research detection of target nucleic acid
sequences (targets) using real-time analysis.
• Qualitative research detection of targets using post-PCR
(endpoint) analysis.
• Qualitative analysis of the PCR product achieved by melt curve
analysis that occurs post-PCR.
