Digital PCR (dPCR) is a specialized approach to nucleic acid detection and quantification that is not reliant on standard curves. Instead, the quantity or numbers of molecules present in a reaction is ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific has produced another short, animated video featuring some very basic information about the polymerase chain reaction, PCR, one of the most common techniques in genetic ...

PCR-based techniques are methods that rely on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify stretches of DNA by creating many identical or near-identical copies. For example, PCR amplification can be ...

Detection of PCR products in real time can be accomplished by using fluorescent dyes or probes. Fluorescently labeled probes detect the amount of specific double-stranded DNA sequences. While ...
