Bio-Rad CFX qPCR
Bio-Rad CFX96 qPCR
The Bio-Rad CFX qPCR with a 96-well thermal block can detect fluorescent signals in up to five channels, providing high thermal uniformity and accurate quantification for general qPCR applications. The device offers a maximum ramp rate at 5 °C/sec, a thermal gradient between 30 °C to 100 °C and sensitivity to one copy of target sequence in human gDNA. We recommend 10-50 ul reaction volume for this model, using validated qPCR plasticwares and reagents.
Bio-Rad CFX384 qPCR
The Bio-Rad CFX qPCR with a 384-well thermal block can detect fluorescent signals in up to four channels, providing high thermal uniformity and accurate quantification for high throughput qPCR applications. The device offers a maximum ramp rate at 2.5 °C/sec, a thermal gradient between 30 °C to 100 °C and sensitivity to one copy of target sequence in human gDNA. We recommend 5-30 ul reaction volume for this model, using validated qPCR plasticwares and reagents.

Required Acknowledgement and Authorship
Please acknowledge the CBIS Core Facilities in all publications and grant applications where our equipment and/or personnel have facilitated the work. These acknowledgements are very important because documenting our contributions helps to ensure that the resources of the Core Facilities are sustainable.
- Equipment: If you used Core Facility equipment, please note this in the Materials and Methods. e.g., Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out using a TA Instruments TGA-Q50 (Rensselaer CBIS Analytical Biochemistry Core Facility).
- Personnel: Please consider including CBIS personnel as co-authors on your publications when they have made a significant intellectual contribution to the research. Include CBIS Core Facility directors or staff as co-PI or co-investigators in grant applications when they provide a significant contribution to the grant proposal and scientific/intellectual leadership for the proposed work. Please follow these guidelines: ABRF Recommended Guidelines for Authorship on Manuscripts. Also, our Core Facility personnel always appreciate when they are mentioned in the Acknowledgements section of publications.
- Required Funding Authorization Form: Rensselaer researchers must fill out the CBIS Cores Authorization Form (PDF) to use the CBIS Core Facilities.
