Dr. Tim Inglis of the University of Western Australia seeks better ways to conduct surveillance and respond to outbreaks of tropical infectious diseases. For over a decade he’s been developing detection assays for a slate of pathogens. Find out how Bio-Rad’s MiniOpticon Real-Time PCR system allows him to effectively run these assays in such remote locations as the Kimberley Wilderness in Australia’s Top End.

Bio-Rad introduces new Hard-Shell 96-well Semi-skirted low profile PCR plates for optimal performance with a variety of real-time PCR systems.

Stability during thermal cycling and uniformity of wells are important features in any PCR plate for obtaining reliable results. Bio-Rad’s new Hard-Shell® plates are stable, prevent warping and shrinkage, and are designed for optimal thermal transfer and recovery of samples.

Large sample volumes may sometimes be needed to conduct gene expression studies. Bio-Rad’s new CFX96 Touch Deep Well™ real-time PCR detection system can run sample volumes up to 125 µl and can discriminate up to five targets simultaneously.
