Applied Biosystems qPCR Assays and Reagents Are Compatible with Bio-Rad Instruments
Did you know that Applied Biosystems qPCR assays and reagents work great on Bio-Rad instruments?
It’s true. We tested Applied Biosystems TaqMan Gene Expression Assays with TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix and PowerUp SYBR Green Master Mix on the Bio-Rad CFX96 and CFX384 Real-Time PCR Detection systems. Check out the results below.
For the TaqMan Gene Expression assays with TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix we looked at:
- Singleplex vs. duplex performance
- Reproducibility
- Dynamic range
For PowerUp SYBR Green Master Mix we examined:
- Reproducibility
- Specificity
- Dynamic range
Some highlights of the results are shown below.

Benefits of TaqMan Assays:
- Comprehensive—we’ve got you covered with over 2 million predesigned gene expression assays in nearly 30 different species. We also have a collection of >500 quality-guaranteed* fixed or flexible panels targeting specific pathways, biomarkers, or disease states.
- Relevant content—TaqMan assays and arrays detect similar genes found on Bio-Rad™ panels, which use SYBR Green chemistry
- Unrivaled performance—TaqMan Assays are MGB probe-based and designed using an industry-leading, verified bioinformatics pipeline, to help ensure that each assay is optimally designed and performs consistently
- Affordable—ready-to-go format: TaqMan Gene Expression assays require no optimization and minimize the labor, expense, and bioinformatics expertise required to design qPCR assays.
If performance of a predesigned TaqMan Assay does not meet these specifications, we’ll replace it at no cost or credit your account. For more information, and to see the full terms and conditions, go to thermofisher.com/taqmanguarantee
