CRO|Real-time PCR (gene expression analysis)

Study Overview

Your target cells are cultured with the test substance. After that, RNA is collected from the cells, and the activity of the target gene is measured using real-time PCR. We can also handle many samples at the same time for screening and large-scale testing.

You can also send us your own RNA or cDNA samples and request only the gene expression analysis. If you send RNA samples, we will first make cDNA and then perform the real-time PCR test. We can also design primers for you, or we can use primers that you provide.
