Scarcely any invention has altered biological science so radically in such a short period as the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. With this technique, minute amounts of DNA can be replicated very rapidly and thereby amplified to such an extent that the DNA becomes easy to detect, study and use for any given purpose. The potential of this technique in medicine has long bee...

Basic PCR Protocol

To achieve success in quantitative RT-PCR, you need the right RT and PCR technologies. With the Platinum® Quantitative RT-PCR ThermoScript™ One-Step System,you get both with accurate real-time quantification of RNA. Obtain the high specificity,yield and sensitivity essential to your experiments, with one-step convenience.

Plasmid Colony PCR

Quantitative, real-time, multiplex PCR is a powerful tool for gene expression analysis and other applications. However, it is a challenging technique. Here we explain how QuantiTect® Multiplex PCR Kits overcome the problems often encountered and present examples using application data kindly provided by researchers in the field. Important points to consider when startin...

AbstractAn efficient, PCR based method for the selective amplification of DNA target sequences that differs by a single base pair is described. The method utilises the high affinity and specificity of PNA for their complementary nucleic acids and that PNA cannot function as primers for DNA polymerases.

*One Friday night I was driving, ……. My girlfriend, Jennifer Barnett, was asleep. I was thinking. …….*However, shocking to me, not one of my friends or colleagueswould get excited over the potential for such a process. *In September I did my first experiment. I like to try the easiest possibilities first. So one night I put human DNA and the nerv...

Why is Real Time PCR Important? Real time PCR addresses the needs of high-throughput PCR and PCR applications requiring precision.

by Dr GR Limones, Dr FJ Calvo-Macarro, Dr ML Ayus N Carcelén, Dr Fernández-Esplá and Dr A Madejón A novel system for real-time PCR is described based on the combined use of a double-labelled hydrolysis probe with a proofreading enzyme, in contrast to current detection systems which require DNA polymerases with 5'-3'nuclease activity. Hydrolysis ...
