Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

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 ...

For decades, optimizing annealing temperatures in PCR has pushed the limits of PCR forward to more difficult tasks. At the same time, mastermixes and kits became more powerful and less prone for ...

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test detects genetic material from a pathogen or abnormal cell sample. Ways of collecting samples include a nasal swab, a saliva swab, or taking a sample of blood.

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 ...

A fully automated PCR-based system enables sample-to-answer diagnostics with high throughput, continuous loading, and random ...
