Real Time PCR

October 8, 2008

So I was trawling eBay the other day looking for weird and wonderful things for my sister as a present as she is a Microbiologist and I have quite a small area of expert-ease to concentrate on, two of the subjects she wants product in are DNA and Real time PCR, now I love shopping on eBay but if you search for DNA it comes up with everything that I don’t understand but if your search for Real Time PCR it comes up with only 1 product the Corbett Roto-Gene 3000 PCR Real-Time DNA Thermal Cycler.

The product in question is currently selling at £7192 its going to be an expensive Christmas this year.

For the less knowledgeable out there like me here is the wikipedia explanation.

“In molecular biology, real-time polymerase chain reaction, also called quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or kinetic polymerase chain reaction, is a laboratory technique based on the polymerase chain reaction, which is used to amplify and simultaneously quantify a targeted DNA molecule. It enables both detection and quantification (as absolute number of copies or relative amount when normalized to DNA input or additional normalizing genes) of a specific sequence in a DNA sample.”

If anybody else out there has any other good ideas that I can buy from eBay related to Real Time PCR give me a heads up.
