Strategies to overcome common qPCR challenges

Share

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a commonly-used technique for quantifying nucleic acids. While the method appears simple on its surface, there are many steps where a researcher can introduce contaminants and other sources of error. By understanding which steps and reagents require careful optimization and validation, scientists can solve common qPCR challenges and perform reproducible experiments.
