Real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (Real-time qPCR)

Why we use it

• Real-time detection of mRNA transcripts using SybrGreen or Taqman chemistry

• Real-time detection of non-coding RNAs

Our Equipment

• Mx3005P Real-time PCR system

• ARIAMx Real-time PCR system

Applications in Molecular Psychiatry

• mRNA/non-coding RNA profiling in brain tissue and peripheral tissue from translational animal models and psychiatric patients

• RNA profiling in blood and CSF

Real-time qPCR enables us to explore specific molecular pathways to further understand pathophysiological mechanisms and novel treatment paradigms.
