Fluorescence thermal cycler

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The Fluorescence thermal cycler is a laboratory instrument designed for thermal cycling applications. It utilizes fluorescence detection for real-time monitoring of nucleic acid amplification, such as in quantitative PCR (qPCR) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) experiments. The core function of the Fluorescence thermal cycler is to precisely control the temperature of samples during thermal cycling protocols.

Total RNAs from tissues or cells were isolated by a TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), followed by the reverse transcription of extracted RNAs through a miScript II RT kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) in a fluorescence thermal cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). The expression of relative genes was measured by a SYBR Green PCR reagent kit (Applied Biosystems) with the following primer sets on an ABI ViiA7 Real-Time PCR System. The relative expression of target genes was normalized to β-actin. The biological information and primer sequences are shown in Table 2 and supplementary Figure 1, respectively.

Total RNA was isolated from the cells using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Serum miRNAs were extracted from 400 µl of serum using the miRNeasy Mini kit and reversely transcribed using the miScript II RT kit (both from Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The levels of miRNAs were detected using the miScript SYBR-Green PCR kit (Qiagen) in a Bio-Rad fluorescence thermal cycler (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The relative expression levels of the miRNAs were normalized to that of U6.

Total RNA from cells was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). cDNA was produced by reverse transcription using the SuperScript® III RT-PCR kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The amplification of fluorescence signals was detected by a fluorescence thermal cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., United States). RT-qPCR was performed (Novoprotein, Shanghai, China) using the following primers: RPS3 sense, 5′-GCGAGTTACACCAACCAGGA-3′ and antisense, 5′-ATGAACCGCAGCACACCATA-3′; β-actin sense, 5′-AGCAGCATCGCCCCAAAGTT-3′ and antisense, 5′-GGGCACGAAGGCTCATCATT-3′. B -Actin was set as an internal control for cellular mRNAs. The parameters for PCR quantification were as follows: 2 min at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles of 15 s at 95°C and 30 s at 60°C. The results of qPCR were defined using the quantification cycle (Cq), and 2–ΔΔCq was used to calculate the relative expression levels (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link)).

Total RNA from cells and exosomes was extracted using an miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Inc., Hilden, Germany). miRNAs and mRNAs were reverse transcribed using the miScript II RT Kit (Qiagen, Inc.) and detected by miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen, Inc.) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. The amplification of fluorescence signals was detected by a fluorescence thermal cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). RNU6B and β-actin were set as internal controls for cellular miRNAs and mRNAs, respectively. The relative expression levels of exosomal miRNA were normalized to miR-16-5p. The 2−ΔΔCq method was used for miRNAs and mRNAs quantification (27 (link)); miScript primers for miRNAs and RNU6B (cat. no. 218300) were obtained from Qiagen, Inc.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
