Traditional RNA purification can add handling, consumables, transfer steps, and opportunities for sample loss before reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Direct cell lysis approaches offer a way to simplify sample preparation by enabling gene expression analysis from cultured cell lysates while reducing hands-on workflow complexity.
In this webinar, Laura Mier will discuss how rapid cell lysis combined with one-step RT-qPCR can streamline gene expression workflows, maintain performance comparable to purified RNA approaches, and support applications ranging from routine analysis to higher-throughput screening.
Topics to be covered:
- Direct cell lysis for RT-qPCR analysis
- One-step reverse transcription and qPCR workflows
- Performance across cell inputs and gene targets
- Higher-throughput and automation-friendly gene expression workflows
Thursday, November 19th 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern Time
This webinar will be available to view live and on demand.
