Depending on the goal of your reaction, 20 to 40 cycles will be needed. For long amplicons, a final elongation step is typically run at 72 °C for 5 to 15 minutes in order to ensure all DNA is double stranded. Usually, a final hold step at 4 °C is programmed into the thermocycler...

The basic principle of PCR involves using a DNA polymerase enzyme, specifically a heat-stable DNA polymerase derived from thermophilic bacteria, to synthesize new strands of DNA. This enzyme works at higher temperatures than those typically found in the human body or traditional laboratory enzymes, m...
After PCR, the samples should be stored at 4℃ (short term) or -20℃ (long term). When using a proofreading enzyme, it is always better to use an extension temperature of 68℃, if possible. Depending on the melting temperature of the primers, good results can be obtained using a ...
This real time PCR assay works on the principle of measuring fluorescence signals at the end of the extension phase of each PCR cycle that are generated following the binding of SYBR Green to PCR products. As the number of product increases, so too, does the fluorescence signal resulting in ...
1、RT-PCR for Human Tissue1Principle of Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)RT-PCR is used to clone expressed genes by reverse transcribing the RNA of interest into its complementary DNA (cDNA) through the use of reverse transcriptase. Subsequently, the newly synthesized cDNA ...

Microarray-on-a-chip digital PCR works by designing a chip that independently distributes gene amplification systems at the nano-level and below into a pool of microchannels, followed by DNA amplification and fluorescence signal detection. According to the way the chip is designed, microarray PCR ...
a. PCR Principle PCR requires several reagents in a common mix: DNA sample: the original DNA from which a specific sequence will be amplified Primers: a pair of short nucleotides sequences (10-20 base pairs) corresponding to the partial sequences at the two extremities of the specific amplif...
