After a traditional PCR has been completed, the PCR/qPCR data analysis is conducted by resolution through an agarose gel or, more recently, through a capillary.
Learn about the history of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from the basic principles that proceeded its discovery to the awarding of a Nobel Prize for Chemistry and more recent developments such as real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR.
Restorase® was developed for researchers unable to achieve amplification of damaged DNA templates when using other commercially available DNA polymerases.
Standard methods for extracting DNA from tissues can be extremely laborious and time consuming. Certain applications, such as genotyping of transgenic mice using a section of tail, employ a lengthy DNA extraction process.
Our qPCR services, including primer and probe designs, assay protocol development, troubleshooting, and data analysis support, adhere to MIQE, which allows you to publish or bring your product to market faster and with confidence.
Extract-N-Amp is a versatile, combined DNA extraction and amplification kit intended to simplify the generation of PCR products from a range of sample types. This methodology can be used without modification to perform PCR on blood samples stored on FTA
PCR assay guide navigates you through primer validation and other assay optimization factors to ensure high sensitivity and specificity for optimum DNA/ RNA quantification.
The entire PCR workflow is vulnerable to factors which introduce variability. Many of the variable components are unavoidable, such as the source of the sample or the requirement for a reverse transcription step. Assay design is also highly variable and
Fast PCR is PCR in which total reaction time is decreased by reducing the duration of one or more of the steps during each cycle of a PCR. Using the KAPA2G Fast PCR Kit, PCR time can be reduced by
Developing a PCR or RT-PCR/RT-qPCR troubleshooting protocol so that data are reliable is essential. Potential sources of RT-PCR or PCR error and problems include operator error, the PCR master mix, and oligo design. This PCR troubleshooting guide outlines and details
Examples of basic PCR/qPCR/dPCR protocols that can be used as the foundation for explorations into some of the concepts described in the theoretical chapters of this guide. Included are detailed protocols for assay quality control, in addition to more general
The efficacy of amplification of small quantities of total RNA with the Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification Kit (WTA2) was examined in this study.
Long and accurate PCR applications address the needs for longer read lengths, greater fidelity and higher yields than that which can be achieved with Taq DNA polymerase.
A PCR master mix is a batch of PCR or RT-PCR reagents that can be divided among many PCR reaction tubes. It usually includes DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and buffer. Make your own master mix or choose a commercial one.
The assessment of DNA quality is a crucial first step in acquiring meaningful data from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, and other sources of damaged DNA. Using intact genomic DNA is key for successful analysis of chromosomal aberrations (e.g. SNP analysis
Whole genome amplification (WGA) offers a means to overcome the above restrictions for single-cell genomic analyses. WGA has been described as a non-specific amplification technique that affords an amplified product completely representative of the initial starting material.
