At www.smartcycler.com or www. cepheid.com you can download literature. One of the pdf files decribes a comparison between Lightcycler, Smartcycler and ABI on sensitivity. The paper from Raja (Raja et al Clinical Chemistry 48:8 1329-1337, 2002) describes a multiplex assay for tumormarker detection and how to set up internal controls.
