PCR arrays are dedicated to gene expression analysis by quantitative PCR. They are sets of primers, on the same support (384-well microplate), selected according to a theme or a given biological process. Gene expression analysis by PCR arrays is considered as the most effective and cost-efficient method for studying a panel of targeted genes.
This method can be used for applied research (sample or biological model characterization, identification of biomarkers, etc.) or for the discovery and selection of active ingredients. PCR arrays can also be used for the validation of results obtained after transcriptomic analysis.
Standard PCR arrays
QIMA Life sciences has a wide range of thematic ready-to-use PCR arrays (8 to128 genes) to perform gene expression studies:
- Tissue inflammation
- Oxidative stress
- Ageing
- Angiogenesis

- Atopic dermatitis
- Innate immunity and skin defense mechanisms
- Adipocyte differentiation and conversion
- Extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation (fibroblasts)
- Epidermal differentiation (keratinocytes)
- Cell junction and communication
- Pigmentation
- UV
- etc.
