Array Services

The AIC provides real-time RNA and DNA quantification services using qPCR

Pathway PCR arrays allow for the analysis of 84 genes (x 4 sample replicates + housekeeping genes) in one 384-well PCR plate to determine the expression profile of a set of genes relevant to a disease or pathway. There are over 100 cataloged arrays in available for human, rat, and mouse lines. If you have a list of targeted genes we can also provide custom arrays for the analysis of 60 to 384 genes of interest specific to your analysis.

A list of the most popular PCR Arrays can be found below along with general pricing for this service. Please contact Matthew Au if you have any further questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment to discuss your research project and goals.
