Guidelines for Developing Robust and Reliable PCR Assays
- PCR component influence on PCR amplification
- Methodologies for analyzing qPCR performance
- Strategies for simplifying the qPCR assay optimization
Summary
A robust and reliable qPCR assay is critical for a variety of experimental workflows. Setting up a qPCR assay is simple in principle, but optimization can be time consuming and requires careful experimental design. In this webinar, we discussed guidelines for streamlining qPCR assay optimization.
