Using the Azure Cielo Real-time PCR System for SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detection
For early COVID-19 detection and diagnosis, real-time PCR instruments must be capable of measuring very small amounts of viral RNA. Researchers estimate the limit of detection (LOD), or the lowest concentration of RNA detected with > 95% confidence, can be as little as 1 copy of viral RNA per μL2. In this technical note, Azure Biosystems determine the LOD for the Azure Cielo™ using SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
Detection of low copy telomeric genes with the Azure Cielo
In this application note, the sensitivity of the Cielo is compared to that of a competitor instrument by comparing the Cq values observed with duplicate reactions run on the two instruments.
Azure Cielo: SNP Genotyping/Allelic discrimination
In this application note, Azure detail SNP genotyping using the Cielo qPCR instrument. They detect 2 SNPs using a commercially available kit. Using a 5’-nuclease allelic discrimination assay, they amplify the target from a DNA sample using a standard primer pair, followed by detection of each SNP with two differently labeled probes (FAM or VIC reporter molecule).
Azure Cielo: Adding dyes and Color Compensation
This application note explains how to add new dyes and describes how to run the Color Compensation Protocol to correct for potential crosstalk following a data run.
