Troubleshooting qPCR - What are my amplification curves telling me?
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is the method of choice for accurate estimation of gene expression. Part of its appeal for researchers comes from having a protocol that is easy to execute. However when your reactions do not result in ideal amplification, troubleshooting "why" can be challenging. Factors including sample quality, template quantity, master mix differences, assay design, and incorrect primer or probe resuspension can all influence efficient amplification. When troubleshooting, analysis of the appearance of your amplification curve can give you clues towards improving your results. This webinar will present a variety of problematic qPCR issues and how they are manifested in the amplification curve.
