An Analysis of Efficiency and Melt Curve Effects on Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) Inhibition

Real-time or quantitative PCR (qPCR) is an innovative method used to determine the amount of amplifiable DNA in a biological sample. Typically, a fluorescent dye is introduced during thermal cycling, causing a change in fluorescent output as the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) product accumulates. Both...
