世界上第一台开源实时PCR热循环仪发布

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 26 Feb 2015
一款低成本qPCR热循环仪价格只有传统PCR仪的十分之一,特别有利于资金不足的实验室,并促进发展中国家提高诊断水平。

Chai生物技术公司(Santa Clara, CA, USA)是一家初创的生物技术公司,致力于普及分子生物学核心技术,同时开发功能强大的工具供合成生物学家使用。现在该公司推出了世界上第一台开源实时PCR热循环仪——Open qPCR。这款新型的相对定量PCR (qPCR)现已通过KickStarter募款活动发布。

Open qPCR像诊断和科研用的实时PCR一样能进行基因分型、检测病原体的存在以及DNA相对量化。它现有容量是16孔(100微升或200微升试管),主要用于诊断。

这款仪器现在售价1,499美元,预计2015年3月发货。Chai生物技术公司创始人暨首席执行官Josh Perfetto说:“实时PCR仪的价格一般为2万美元以上,发展中国家缺乏资金的大学实验室和研究所负担不起这项技术。Open qPCR将实时PCR反应的成本降低了一个数量级。”Perfetto也是此前OpenPCR计划的联合创始人,该计划在2011年制成了世界上第一台开源终点PCR热循环仪。

Open qPCR的特征有:基于网络的预案编辑、板排列和结果解读界面;一体化触摸屏支持现场使用;支持宽带、Wi-Fi和USB连接;Open API支持自动化应用;低功耗模式适用于恒温扩增;完全的硬件设计和软件,发货时以开源形式发布。

KickStarter活动一直持续到2014年12月4日。这项活动也在募款为西非的埃博拉诊所捐赠仪器。
