TaqMan™ Advanced miRNA Human Endogenous Controls 96-well Plate, fast - FAQs

While a lot of targets between human, mouse and rat are the same we had to design specific assays for mouse and rat because cross-reactivity tests are done within a species to exclude off-targets. Assays on the human endogenous control plate will detect the corresponding mouse and rat targets, however it is possible that some human assays might detect off-targets in mouse.

The minimum amount of TaqMan Array plates needed to submit an order is based on the plate type:
• Inventoried TaqMan array plates: 1 plate
• TaqMan Flexible Content panel array plates: 6 plates
• Custom TaqMan array plates: 6 plates
• Specialty TaqMan array plates: 10-20 plates (depends on assay format and configuration). Please contact our Specialty Plates team at Specialty_Plates@thermofisher.com for details.

We recommend using our Plastics Selection Tool to verify which plates are compatible with your instrument model, https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/pcr/pcr-plastics/plastics-selection-guide.html.
