the uses SYBR GREEN based signalling, this information enables
xxpress to preselect the camera sensitivity. Touch the selection
required.
Figure 4a
• Here we have selected SYBR GREEN see Figure 4a.
• Next there are two specific selections that identify the chemistry
supplier and the specific product that will be used, (this information
is used to prepopulate the thermal profile with a suggested set of
parameters).
xxpress is so much faster than traditional thermal cyclers that the
team at BJS Bio have developed some typical profiles to help the
user move quickly to an optimised assay. The figures are only a
starting point and all the parameters are adjustable in later
screens.
• If the chemistry the user wants to use is not listed on the screen
then they can chose a similar product as their starting point and
edit the values on the later screens.
With each new software release BJS Bio will add new chemistry
options, in between releases application notes for other
chemistries can be found on the xxpress web-site,
www.xxpressPCR.com .
If a user wants specific advice on setting a profile for a chemistry
they can email [e-mail] with their question.
