According to a recent report on the gene-amplification technologies market from Global Industry Analysts, there are close to 70,000 bioresearchers using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in North ...

RT-qPCR stands for quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the “RT” not to be mistaken for “real time”. 2 Unlike qPCR that uses a DNA template, the starting material for RT-qPCR ...

Leading PCR and qPCR technology now available for high-throughput applications: With the Biometra TRobot II and qTOWER³ auto, Analytik Jena presents two new thermal cyclers for fully automated PCR and ...

How does UV-Vis spectrophotometry help with the understanding of failed reactions? Genomic analyses, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), require ...

qPCR is a potent technique for microRNA expression profiling to assess gene regulation, yet the characteristics of miRNAs present challenges for assay design. miRNAs are only 19–22 nucleotides in ...

Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a powerful tool to detect and quantify nucleic acids. By incorporating fluorescently labeled probes or fluorescent double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-binding dyes into ...

Multiplex qPCR is a popular area of interest for many assay developers. Thanks to distinct reporter dyes, multiple reactions can be combined into a single well, with each target detected independently ...

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic testing has been highlighted as a key part of global measures to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In a media briefing on March 16, 2020, Dr Tedros ...
