ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:


Quantitative PCR (qPCR also known as real-time PCR) simultaneously amplifies and detects targeted DNA allowing scientists to discover the starting amount of a specific DNA sequence in an experimental sample. This powerful and precise technology has become a cornerstone of modern genetics research, biological monitoring, and medical diagnostics. For students, performing qPCR offers the challenge of performing a mathematically and technically advanced experiment, the opportunity to understand key molecular concepts through hands-on learning, and an essential skill for future research work. In this specially adapted education qPCR experiment, students will quantify the DNA concentration of four experimental samples using a standard curve approach and then confirm the experiment’s specificity and accuracy through gel electrophoresis, melt curve analysis, and data analysis.

* Requires wet ice shipment for next day delivery (by 3:00 pm in most areas)

**This kit must be used with a RT Thermal Cycler**
