Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the availability of its first Iphone application for free download through Apple's Itunes App Store.
The Bio-Rad real-time PCR application, called Amplification Central, provides researchers performing PCR and qPCR with tutorials, troubleshooting tips and assay-specific information.
The Iphone application includes: a real-time PCR amplification guide for designing, analysing and optimising real-time PCR experiments; a qPCR doctor for troubleshooting and resolving problems related to real-time PCR assays; and qPCR assay design for guidance on designing a qPCR assay, information on validating and optimising a qPCR assay and different methods for analysing qPCR data.
The Bio-Rad real-time PCR application is derived from two amplification sources: the company's Real-Time PCR Applications Guide and the Gene Expression Gateway microsite (www.bio-rad.com/genomics).
Additional features will regularly be added to the application.
The application runs on Apple's Iphone or Ipod Touch and can be downloaded at the Itunes App Store: http://bit.ly/6edO8F.
