The Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System offers maximum performance in the minimum time. Fully optimized for Fast cycling, the 7500 Fast delivers high-quality results in as little as 30 minutes. We supply a Dell™ Notebook computer with the 7500 Fast System.

• Specially designed Fast block ensures thermal uniformity at top speeds.
• Faster ramp rates enable rapid results without compromising extension times or assay quality.
• Fast optical plates ensure excellent precision in 10-30 ul reaction volumes.
• Use TaqMan® Fast Universal PCR Master Mix to run multiple Fast assays on one plate.
• Finish more runs per day with the excellent performance equivalent to that offered by the 7500 System.

High Resolution Melting Analysis
The Applied Biosystems® High Resolution Melting (HRM) Software is the easiest to use melting analysis software enabling real-time PCR melt curve assays to be used more accurately for mutation scanning and genotyping. The HRM Software is available on the 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System, which delivers precise results in a standard 96-well format.

Use the Applied Biosystems® High Resolution Melting (HRM) Software to perform more sophisticated melting analysis with an easy to follow workflow and minimal subjective data analysis steps.

• Shortens analysis time by auto-calling genotypes and automatically omitting the no template controls.
• Minimizes subjective analysis by automatically grouping unknown variant clusters.
• No temperature shift required – distinguish between homozygous mutants and wild type more easily.
• Allows easy data review with customizable multi-plot views, expandable windows and one-click color assignment to highlight curves of interest.
• Facilitates data presentation with the option to export data and graphs directly to PowerPoint or as JPEG files.

NEW - 7500 Software v2.0
Now the easy-to-use StepOne software is available for both the 7500 and 7500 Fast systems with the 7500 Software v2.0 upgrade. The 7500 Software v2.0 incorporates your favorite StepOne Software features, such as a variety of plate setup wizards, standard curve dilution and master mix recipe calculators, QC flags, data filters, and email notification when a run is finished. The 7500 Software v2.0 also includes an enhanced Gene Expression Study package and has a variety of new melting curve protocol options, including multiple peak detection, step and hold temperature control, and customizable ramp rates.

The Gene Expression Study package accommodates large studies better than any other instrument software package:
• Import an unlimited number of Comparative CT (relative quantitation) files to one study.
• Group samples and view data both by technical replicate group and biological replicate group.
• Use any gene(s) as an endogenous control, including averaging multiple controls together.
• Enter known efficiency values to be factored into the RQ results

21 CFR Part 11 Module available
The SDS v1.4 21CFRp11 Module is a powerful tool for assisting with 21CFRp11 compliance, while still offering the flexibility of user-customizable configuration settings.

• Individual user log-ins can be added for up to four user groups, each group with designated permission settings.
• User-customizable permission settings include fourteen system activities, e-signature authority designation, and additional security settings to give you maximum control over your compliance efforts.
• Audit trails can be enabled or disabled depending on your traceability needs.
• A selection of e-signatures is available to ease e-signatures into your workflow.

One System, Many Applications
Applications include gene expression analysis, pathogen quantitation, SNP genotyping, isothermal and +⁄– assays utilizing internal positive controls. To facilitate many of these applications, Applied Biosystems® provides preformulated, ready-to-use, quality-tested, TaqMan® assays for use with the 7500 Fast system. Now you can reduce your assay optimization efforts.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why are there no RQ values for all the samples in my study from the 7500 or 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System software?

The 7500 software requires that the endogenous control be run on every plate within a study. If not, you will only see RQ values for the plate that contains the endogenous control on it. The other plates will have CT values for all the wells, but the software will not calculate RQ values.

If you designed your experiments in this type of layout, you will want to do your analysis in the free DataAssist software instead. This program does not have the endogenous control requirement for every plate. Simply export the study results file from the 7500 software as a *.txt or *.csv file, and use that to create a new study in the DataAssist software. You should now be able to see RQ values for all samples, even those without an endogenous control on the same plate.

Why do I not see any CT or RQ values from my ddCT experiment in the software for the 7500 or 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System?

If you have the SDS v1.4 or earlier, you will need to open the dd CT plate in a Study first in order to see the CT or RQ values. (If you have v2.0.x this error does not apply.)

1.After the initial run is complete, open, review the plots and save it. Then:
-Choose File then New
-Choose: Assay then ddCT (Relative Quantitation) Study. Set the other parameters as appropriate and click Next.
2.Click on ‘Add Plates...', then browse to where your data file is located and select the plate (or multiple plates).
Click ‘Finish', and you should see your study.

What can I do when I get the error message "Time too short" on the 7500 or 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System?

You may encounter this error message, which will abort the run before it even starts. If so, go into the software under Setup then Run Method and check how much time has been set for the data collection step. The instrument has a minimum collection time, which is dependent on the number of filters being used. (This is true in both the 1.x and 2.0.x versions of the 7500 software.) Increase the extension time to 30 sec and restart the run. It should now proceed as normal. If the error persists, please contact us at techsupport@thermofisher.com for further assistance.

What can I do if I get an error message about "Block Up Switch" on the 7500 or 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System?

This error can be caused by the wrong plastics being used in the block, such as the wrong Precision Plate Holder being used in the tray. This can give an error message such as “Block up switch not activating” and will not allow the run to start. Open the drawer, make sure the correct plate/tubes and plate/tube holder are being used and in the correct orientation. Turn off the instrument and open the front cover to make sure the heated cover door is closed. Restart the instrument and retry the run. If the error still persists, please contact us at instrumentservices@thermofisher.com for further assistance.

On the 7500 and 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR Systems, what can I do if I get an error message about "CCD acquisition failure"?

If you see this error message, please check the following:

1. Verify that the USB connection is secure between the instrument and computer.
2. Verify that the computer user power save settings are set to Never for all users (in Windows under Control Panel, Power Options).
3. Is there a screen saver in use? If so, set the screen saver so that it will not come on during a run.
4. Is there antivirus or other network software in use? If so, disconnect from the network while running the instrument.
If the error persists, please contact us at instrumentservices@thermofisher.com for further assistance.
