Thermo Fisher Scientific has produced another short, animated video featuring some very basic information about the polymerase chain reaction, PCR, one of the most common techniques in genetic ...

Individual components, including the template, primers, polymerase, dNTP levels, and cycling conditions, can impact the overall PCR reaction. Explore how these ...

With the technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), scientists can make multiple copies of a specific genetic sequence within DNA. PCR is a powerful tool for researchers because it allows for ...

Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...

First described in the 1990s, digital PCR is a novel approach to PCR which allows precise detection and quantification of the amount of nucleic acids formed during PCR. It is different from ...

Multiplex PCR is a difficult technique that allows amplification of two or more products in parallel in a single reaction tube. This technology was first described by Chamberlain et al., in 1988, and ...
