Why PrimePCR?
Bio-Rad collaborated with Biogazelle, leaders in real-time PCR research, to design and experimentally validate PCR primers for gene expression assays across the human and mouse transcriptomes. All PCR primers were designed to meet stringent performance standards following the MIQE guidelines (minimum information for publication of quantitative real-time PCR experiments; Bustin et al. 2009).
Assay Performance Standards
Sensitivity | Accurate detection of 20 copies |
Specificity | Amplicon sequence validated with next generation sequencing (NGS). Minimal primer dimer formation and genomic DNA cross reactivity. |
Amplification Efficiency | 90–110% |
Linear Dynamic Range | Minimum of six orders of magnitude. Detection of a synthetic template standard curve from 20 to 20 million copies. |
R2 | >0.99 |
These DNA primer pairs were designed by prioritizing the gene regions most commonly found in transcript variants. Strict design criteria were used to ensure optimal real-time PCR results for each target:
- Target regions without SNPs
- PCR primer pairs annealing across intron/exon junctions when possible
- No secondary structure in primer annealing sites
- Maximum number of transcript isoforms detected
- PCR primers compatible with standard assay conditions
Every PCR primer pair was experimentally validated using Bio-Rad’s iScript™ advanced cDNA synthesis kit and SsoAdvanced™ SYBR® Green supermix. PrimePCR assay design and validation are fully described in the following publication.
PrimePCR Assays: Meeting the MIQE Guidelines by Full Wet-lab Validation
Thomson Reuters provided interactive pathway maps for 260 canonical pathways. Each pathway belongs to one or more general biological categories such as cancer. The pathway maps illustrate protein interactions and regulation to provide a comprehensive picture of signaling and disease processes. The selected pathways were used to design panels of real-time PCR primers tailored for the top-ranked genes for differential gene expression analysis. Each gene target within a pathway was assigned a score based on the frequency of differential expression and its research significance. The resulting scores were used to select the assays included in the corresponding real-time PCR pathway panel.
PrimePCR Pathway Analysis: Pathway Curation and Real-Time PCR Panel Design Strategy
Control assays and synthetic DNA templates were designed to facilitate the assessment of the key experimental factors impacting your real-time PCR results.
DNA Contamination Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR DNA contamination control assay to determine if genomic DNA (gDNA) is present in a sample at a level that may affect PCR results. This assay may also be used to compare relative levels of gDNA contamination present in different samples to determine if PCR results may be affected.
Positive PCR Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR positive control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of a PCR reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of PCR reactions associated with different samples.
RNA Quality Assay
Use the PrimePCR RNA quality assay to determine if RNA integrity may adversely affect PCR results for a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare relative RNA integrity among different samples to determine how PCR results might be affected.
Reverse Transcription Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR reverse transcription control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of the reverse transcription reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of the reverse transcription reactions associated with different samples.
Reference Gene Assays
Reference genes are used in relative gene expression analysis to normalize for variation in the amount of input messenger RNA (mRNA) among samples. To ensure accurate quantitation, it is important to include one or more reference genes exhibiting constant expression levels under the experimental conditions. To streamline reference gene selection, we offer PCR primers for a set of commonly used reference genes that can be used individually, easily screened using our preplated 96-well and 384-well reference panels or added to custom-designed plates.

I cannot find the Certificate of Analysis I am looking for. Help!
When using our online Certificate of Analysis search tool, keep the following in mind:
- Make sure you entered the correct catalog number and lot/control number in the search fields
- If you have a kit, try looking up the Certificate of Analysis using the kit information as well as the information for the individual components
- The Certificate of Analysis that you are looking for may not be available via the website. In that case, you can contact your Bio-Rad representative or use the Request Form
If you cannot find the Certificate of Analysis you are looking for, please Contact Us.
Where can I find the catalog number, SKU number, or product number?
The catalog number, SKU number, or product number is printed on your product label. See the sample label below for the location of this information.
Where can I find the lot or control number?
The lot number or control number (one or the other, not both) is printed on your product label. See the sample label below for the location of this information.

Why are Certificates of Analysis not on the Documents tab?
Certificates of Analysis are associated not only with a product, but also with a specific lot of that product. For a given product, there may be several Certificates of Analysis, especially if it is an older product line and has had several lots produced over the years. Using the Certificate of Analysis search tool, you can enter the catalog number and lot/control number for the specific product you have on hand and download the exact Certificate of Analysis you need.
I have a batch number, not a lot/control number. How do I find the Certificate of Analysis for my item?
You can use the batch number in place of the lot/control number. Use the Certificate of Analysis search tool, entering the catalog number as usual and the batch number where the lot/control number would go.
Can I get a Certificate of Analysis even if my item is expired?
Yes. While we do periodically remove Certificates of Analysis for site maintenance purposes, we typically keep them available well beyond a product's expiration date.
Why does it say "Product Name Not Found" for a Certificate of Analysis listed in the search results?
There are Certificates of Analysis that correspond to products that are either discontinued or simply not available on the website. In these situations, the Certificate of Analysis is available for download, but other product details, such as the product name, are not.
Why does it say "Not Available" for a Certificate of Analysis listed in the search results?
In this case, you have entered a valid catalog number and lot/control number and we have located the Certificate of Analysis. However, for some reason, the actual file itself is unavailable.
Please use the Request Form here or contact your local Bio-Rad Representative so that we can send you the Certificate of Analysis.
