The first dPCR technologies created tiny droplets of special oils to contain the microreactions. However, recent innovations, including the Roche Digital LightCycler ® dPCR System, use a physical ...

The polymerase chain reaction -- A brief comparison between in vivo DNA replication and in vitro PCR amplification -- The PCR in practice -- The different types and varieties of nucleic acid target ...

RQ-PCR permits accurate quantitation of PCR products during the exponential phase of the PCR amplification process, which is in full contrast to the classical PCR end point quantitation. Owing to the ...
