Gene Expression qPCR

Assessing gene expression by quantifying the corresponding mRNA or lncRNA is critical to many fields, including cancer and disease research, biomarker identification and others. For quantification of known targets, reverse transcription qPCR (RT-qPCR) remains the gold standard method, providing fast analysis of just a few or many genes

Our gene expression products enable sensitive quantification of any type of RNA or transcript abundance to deliver unbiased gene expression profiles and get you to your insights faster.

QuantiNova is compromise free

QuantiNova is compromise free

QuantiNova is one of the most advanced portfolios of real-time PCR and RT-PCR kits available for gene expression analysis. A unique combination of in-process controls removes variables and minimizes human error, so your experiments are bound to work.

Simple and fast procedures increase your efficiency, saving you time and money. Plus, flexibility in detection chemistry, one- or two-step workflow, multiplexing and real-time cycler compatibility mean there’s no need to compromise.

Get the best of three worlds with QuantiNova LNA PCR

We enhanced our top-notch qPCR assay and signaling pathway panel designs with locked nucleic acid (LNA) technology and then optimized them for use with our time-tested QuantiNova PCR chemistry. The resulting QuantiNova LNA PCR and QuantiNova LNA Probe PCR systems offer unprecedented options for your PCR-based mRNA/lncRNA expression analyses.

Choose from the broadest coverage of predesigned human, mouse and rat assays and focus panels, with the option to customize your own assay or panel using our advanced design algorithms. Use with the QuantiNova SYBR Green or QuantiNova Probe PCR reagents and get robust and reproducible results in just 2 hours.

QuantiNova LNA Probe

What you need to get started

Both systems use a universal reverse transcription kit (1). Each system has its own dedicated PCR mastermix (2), which is combined with your choice of predesigned or custom assays or panels (4).

The top benefits of QuantiNova LNA PCR

QuantiNova LNA PCR by the numbers

Optimal analysis of any mRNA/lncRNA

Optimal analysis of any mRNA/lncRNA

Our advanced design algorithm removes the guesswork from assay design. Choose from over 2.6 million predesigned assays or use the intuitive custom builder to create assays for novel mRNA and lncRNA transcripts not yet annotated in Ensembl.

Assays are intron-spanning, when possible, to eliminate the risk of genomic DNA amplification and cover all analysis needs: general transcript detection, detection of a specific transcript and isoform differentiation.

Plus, the same algorithm is used for mRNA and lncRNA assays, so they can be used in combination, and in silico validation against stringent performance criteria guarantees analysis success.

All assays can be easily ordered online through GeneGlobe.

Expert-curated biological content

QuantiNova LNA PCR (and Probe PCR) Panels represent the largest collection of predesigned pathway- and application-specific human, mouse and rat PCR arrays available on the market.

Each panel’s comprehensive list of genes was compiled through a systematic process of literature surveys, database searches, expert review and user feedback. The resulting knowledge-based designs combine the benefits of hypothesis-driven and discovery-based research, allowing you to answer highly specific research questions while saving time, effort and resources.

Each cataloged panel includes five housekeeping reference genes and a set of proprietary controls to monitor genomic DNA contamination, first strand synthesis and real-time PCR efficiency.

All panels can be easily ordered online through GeneGlobe.

Fast workflow for all sample types, including tissues, cells, exosomes and FFPE samples

The RT and PCR kits, assays and panels listed below can be used with both QIAGEN and third-party reagents. However, for a pre-optimized workflow, we recommend the QuantiNova LNA PCR System or the QuantiNova LNA Probe PCR System. These systems have been optimized by our scientists so that the chemistry and assays/panels work well together to give you fast and accurate RT-qPCR results. The QuantiNova LNA PCR and Probe PCR Assays and Panels are only intended for singleplex reactions.
