Getting the Most out of Your Real-Time PCR Experiments DVD

Getting the Most out of Your Real-Time PCR Experiments DVD

March 16, 2010

About the DVD:All levels of PCR users are encouraged to participate and will learn good laboratory practices to optimize real-time PCR assays and effectively troubleshoot results.

About the Conference:Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all PCR. Through effective amplification and quantification of low levels of nucleic acids, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) have revolutionized life science research. The newest generation of these exquisite enabling technologies are now being customized to the application. Learn from savvy, seasoned researchers as they share their real-world experiences, targets, tips, techniques, and results.

Agenda at a Glance: 

Topics addressed in this course include:

• Review of critical assay design parameters
• Optimization of assay performance from experiment set-up to data analysis
• Troubleshooting common problems that impact assay efficiency, reproducibility and sensitivity
• Introduction to MIQE - recommended guidelines for publication of qPCR experiments
• High Resolution Melt Analysis: Power, Potential and Limitations
