| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was necessary to determine the optimal concentration of the primers for efficient running the high-speed PCR, and it was possible to determine this. In terms of speed, "40 cycles 8 minutes" was achieved. Furthermore, the sensitivity was improved from ~1000 copies to ~100 copies. Finally, we found a solution for the problem of temperature unevenness in the heater of the equipment. However, due to the company collaborator’s explanation that they cannot predict the market size of gene diagnosis in the future, this collaborative research ended, making it impossible to use the equipment. We needed to find a new collaborative research partner, the research subject became pending. It was valuable that we could optimize reagent conditions for the high-speed PCR. Thus, we are looking for the next tactics for the future development.
