Conventional PCR has been widely adapted as a reliable way to quantify nucleic acids. Next-generation PCR techniques are emerging offering higher sensitivity and greater reproducibility. The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to discuss advances in quantitative PCR and emerging technologies, including digital PCR. Topics to be covered include tips for sample preparation, strategies for experimental setup, as well as considerations for data analysis and normalization. Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with the experts, ask questions and seek advice on topics that are unique to their research.
