Enabling Multiplex Real-time PCR Technology - A novel approach to overcome limitations in quantitative, multiplex PCR

Multiplex, real-time PCR is a powerful tool for gene expression analysis, viral load monitoring, genotyping, and many other applications. The ability to amplify and detect several genomic DNA, cDNA, or RNA targets in the same reaction vessel offers many benefits:

Conservation of precious samples more quantification data per sample
Increased throughput more targets analyzed per run on a cycler
Reliable results no well-to-well variability due to coamplification of internal control
Reduced reagent costs amplification of multiple targets in one reaction vessel
However, optimizing the conditions for a multiplex, real-time PCR assay can be tedious and time-consuming. This one-hour Web seminar will highlight improvements in PCR chemistries to overcome this challenge, enabling success in multiplex, real-time PCR at the first attempt.
