Plate Preparation for the CFX384™ Real-Time PCR Detection System Using a Tecan Robotics System

High-throughput real-time PCR data collection is becoming increasingly important because screening a large number of samples is often needed to obtain meaningful results. Changing from the standard 96-well format to a 384-well format greatly increases capacity; however, the transition can be challenging to manually dispense reaction mixes and obtain consistent, reliable data. In this application note, an alternative automated liquid handling solution is demonstrated for the generation of qPCR data.
