The fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument has a wide range of applications in many fields, mainly including the following aspects:
Medical Diagnosis
- Infectious Disease Detection: It can quickly and accurately detect the nucleic acids of various pathogens, such as viruses (including influenza virus, HIV, hepatitis virus, etc.) and bacteria (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.). This enables early diagnosis of infectious diseases, timely treatment, and effective prevention and control of the spread of the disease.
- Genetic Disease Diagnosis: By detecting and quantitatively analyzing mutations or abnormal expression of genes related to genetic diseases, it provides important basis for the diagnosis, classification, and prognosis evaluation of genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, and some congenital metabolic disorders.
- Cancer Diagnosis and Monitoring: It can be used to detect gene mutations, gene fusions, and abnormal expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in tumor tissues and body fluids. This helps in the early diagnosis of cancer, determination of tumor subtypes, and monitoring of treatment efficacy and recurrence.
Biomedical Research
- Gene Expression Analysis: It is widely used to study the expression levels of specific genes in different tissues, cells, and under different physiological and pathological conditions. By comparing the differences in gene expression between different samples, researchers can explore the function and regulatory mechanism of genes, and screen key genes involved in specific biological processes or diseases.
- Molecular Pathogenesis Research: By analyzing the changes in gene expression and gene mutations in diseased tissues and cells, it helps to reveal the molecular pathogenesis of diseases, understand the interaction between genes and the environment, and provide theoretical basis for the development of new treatment strategies and drugs.
Pharmaceutical Research and Development
- Drug Target Identification and Validation: By comparing the gene expression profiles of normal and diseased cells or tissues before and after drug treatment, potential drug targets can be identified and their validity can be verified. This provides direction and basis for the design and development of new drugs.
- Drug Efficacy Evaluation: It can monitor the changes in gene expression related to drug action in cells or organisms in real time, so as to objectively evaluate the efficacy of drugs, understand the mechanism of drug action, and guide the optimization of drug dosage and treatment regimens.
Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences
- Genetic Quality Detection of Crops and Livestock: It can be used to detect the presence and copy number of specific genes in crops and livestock, such as transgenic genes, genes related to important traits (such as disease resistance, yield, quality, etc.), which is helpful for the genetic quality control and breeding of crops and livestock.
- Animal and Plant Disease Diagnosis and Monitoring: Similar to the detection of human diseases, it can also detect the nucleic acids of pathogens causing animal and plant diseases, such as plant viruses, animal parasites, and bacteria, to achieve early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, and provide technical support for the prevention and control of animal and plant diseases.
Environmental Microbiology
- Microbial Community Analysis: By analyzing the gene sequences and gene expression levels of microorganisms in environmental samples, it can understand the composition, structure, and function of microbial communities in different environments, such as soil, water, and air. This provides important information for studying the ecological function of microorganisms and the impact of environmental changes on microorganisms.
- Pathogen Monitoring in the Environment: It can monitor the presence and abundance of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment, such as water sources, food, and public places, to evaluate the potential risk of pathogen transmission and provide a basis for environmental health assessment and management.
