The ABI PRISM® 7500 FAST Sequence Detection System is a fully integrated system for real-time detection of PCR. The FAST system also allows for High Resolution Melting experiments.  The system includes a built-in thermal cycler, a tungsten-halogen lamp to induce fluorescence, CCD (charge-coupled device) detector, real-time sequence detection software and high resolution melting software.  Detection capabilities allow for SYBR, TaqMan and SYTO9 reagents applications. The 7500 FAST can process qPCR samples in 40 minutes (not including dissociation curve) with the appropriate chemistry.

Warning: Antivirus Software WARNING for 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR Users
  • The laptop attached to the 7500 FAST does NOT have antivirus software because it interferes with data collection.
  • It is YOUR responsibility to verify that any USB device (thumb/flash drive, hard drive, etc.) that you plug into this laptop is free of viruses and malware.
  • If you have any questions or believe your USB device has been infected by the laptop, immediately contact the Core Lab personnel in ALS 3012 or Matthew Peterson (7-3897)
