Introduction
100-QuickPathTM PCR Arrays
Quickly Profiling Gene Expression in 100 Pathways for Gene Function Studies
PCR arrays are the most reliable tools for parallel quantitative analysis of gene expression signatures of a focused panel of genes. With Quick Biology's 100-QuickPathTM PCR Arrays, you can quickly analyze the expression of the most relevant genes in your pathway of interest with complete confidence in your results, to quickly gain a better biological insight in your study. The PCR Array system comprises a complete experimental workflow from sample preparation to data analysis and interpretation.
Quick Biology's first set of three PCR Arrays (Cancer Hallmarks) are designed to analyze genes involved in the hallmarks of cancer comprise 10 biological capabilities (Figure 1). In each hallmark, there are about 10 important pathways or biological processes. We designed highly specific primers based on these important transcription factor/oncogenes in these hallmark pathways to evaluate their expressions. You can quickly analyze the expression of the most relevant cancer hallmarks genes and to build a better biological story.

Quick Biology's 100-QuickPathTM PCR Arrays provide:
l Quickly profiling gene panel of interest for any lab with a real-time PCR
l Compare gene expression of control and treated sample in the same array in less than 3 hours, eliminating plate-plate variation.
l Quickly analyze and publish your data using free easy-to-use data analysis template in excel format.
Why Use PCR Array?
l Quickly obtained biological insights by profiling a panel of genes expression related to a pathway or disease state.
l Simple and Accurate real-time PCR methods provide high sensitivity and wilder quantification ranges.
l Real-time PCR is fully quantitative and exhibit very good reproducibility.
l Easily applied to high throughput and routine use in any lab with a real-time PCR system.
How it works:
--Simple and easy workflow
As depicted in figure 2, simply mix your cDNA template with the appropriate ready-to-use PCR master mix, aliquot equal volumes to each well of the same plate, and then run the real-time PCR cycling program. Our PCR Arrays are made to be compatible with all common real-time PCR systems such as ABI, Bio-Rad, Eppendorf, QIAGEN, Roche, and Stratagene systems. Please find PCR array product manual files [ here ]

--Ready-to-use data analysis
After you obtained Ct values from your real-time PCR system, simply Download the free Excel-based data analysis template [ here ] PCR Array Analysis worksheet_v3.xlsx.
Copy your raw Ct values into the corresponding template cells. Data analysis is based on the ΔΔCt method with normalization of the raw data to either housekeeping genes on the PCR Array. The results will be transformed into figures including fold change (ranked) bar plots, and scatter plot, as shown below in the case studies.
Application use cases:
The PCR Arrays have increasingly used in many areas in life science and biomedical research such as cancer, immunology, stem cells, toxicology and miRNA research. Quick Biology's 100-QuickPathTM PCR Arrays are primarily focus in cancer research. The cancer hallmark PCR Array set are designed to analyze genes and pathways involved in the hallmarks of cancer comprise 10 biological capabilities.
