When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...

PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...

Gene-Analysis Studies Advanced by Use of Low-Volume High-Throughput Real-Time PCR This article describes three gene-analysis studies using the Roche LightCycler® 1536 Real-Time PCR System (Figure 1).

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

PCR amplification can seem straightforward, but in single-cell workflows even small miscalculations can quickly complicate results and downstream analysis. Conventional PCR systems require users to ...
