Learn standard PCR protocol steps and review reagent lists or cycling parameters. This method for routine PCR amplification of DNA uses standard Taq DNA polymerase.
SYBR® Green I, a commonly used fluorescent DNA binding dye, binds all double-stranded DNA and detection is monitored by measuring the increase in fluorescence throughout the cycle. Explore our LuminoCt® and KiCqStart® products for Fast qPCR or JumpStart™ reagents for
This protocol provides a simple and convenient method to isolate, amplify, and purify genomic DNA from buccal swabs. Buccal swabs are a convenient method of acquiring a DNA sample.
Protocol using antibody mediated hot start polymerase with a red dye for easy gel loading. Method has short activation period (<1min), and results in higher yields and more specificity over standard PCR methods.
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) provides information about gene expression, gene amplification or loss, and small alterations. qPCR is often used to investigate tumor biology and to discover the genetic and epigenetic causes of cancer
Protocol describes amplification of DNA through quantitative PCR with SYBR Green. Consistent batch-to-batch performance can be achieved with large numbers of PCR reactions.
Probe based QPCR utilizes a fluorescent–labeled target-specific probe resulting in increased specificity and sensitivity. Additionally, a variety of fluorescent dyes are available so that multiple primers can be used to simultaneously amplify many sequences.
Restorase® was developed for researchers unable to achieve amplification of damaged DNA templates when using other commercially available DNA polymerases.
Real-time polymerase chain reaction allows researchers to estimate the quantity of starting material in a sample. It has a much wider dynamic range of analysis than conventional PCR
An overview of methods for quantifying DNA and RNA, how to measure DNA and RNA concentration and yield, and how to assess purity of nucleic acid samples.
WTA2, a Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA) method, allows for representative amplification of nanogram quantities of total RNA in less than 4 hours without 3-bias
