The ABI PRISM® 7500 FAST Sequence Detection System is a fully integrated system for real-time detection of PCR. The FAST system also allows for High Resolution Melting experiments. The system includes a built-in thermal cycler, a tungsten-halogen lamp to induce fluorescence, CCD (charge-coupled device) detector, real-time sequence detection software and high resolution melting software. Detection capabilities allow for SYBR, TaqMan and SYTO9 reagents applications. The 7500 FAST can process qPCR samples in 40 minutes (not including dissociation curve) with the appropriate chemistry.
The 7500 FAST is located in ALS 2156, where the CGRB houses Multi-User equipment, and it is available 24 hours / day, 7 days / week. Access to the room is by key code for labs (upon request from the PI) and scheduling time on the instrument is by submitting an event to the online calendar. Do not use without scheduling a time.
You can download software for use in your lab. Please review the Release Notes file with information on the operating systems compatible with installing the new software.
You must receive training by CGRB staff prior to operating this instrument independently. Please contact Felipe Arredondo to schedule training. Web training modules may provide further instruction on your intended application.
