Miniaturization of a qPCR Assay with Reduced Reagent Volumes to Achieve Cost Savings in Gene Expression Analyses
28 Nov 2018The ruminal epithelium is characterized by high transport rates of short chain fatty acids and minerals like Na+, Cl- and Mg2+. However, to maintain stable physiological conditions in the rumen and to meet increased needs of nutrients the transport capacity of the epithelium can even be significantly increased. To investigate the underlying mechanisms of adaptation the expression of several carrier proteins were analyzed under different feeding conditions using the technique of relative quantitative PCR, focussing on changes in gene-of-interest expression rather than on absolute expression.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
