About quantitative real-time PCR

PCR is a key technology in life science research and molecular diagnostics in which a segment of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) is copied, or “amplified”, so that it can be more readily analyzed. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a modification of standard PCR that provides greater quantitative accuracy because the amplified DNA is measured in real-time.

qPCR can be used for:

    • Quantification of gene expression and proteins
    • Detection of microbes in food and soil samples
    • Diagnostic quantification of pathogens
    • Analysis of mutations (SNP)
    • Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMO)
    • Forensic testing
