Optimizing sensitivity and specifity in the RT- QuIC assay

This scientific talk can be used as a primer for those interested in starting to use RT-QuIC Assay for prion research.

RT-QuIC Assays (Real-Time Quaking Induced Conversion assay) uses flourescent detection of Thioflavin T and cycled shaking to produce protein multimers when a prion seed is present. The Omega reader seems very well suited to performing this assay and BMG has responded to customer suggestions to make improvements that assist in performing this assay.
