Real-Time PCR (qPCR)
![]() | Real-time PCR is a form of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in which data are collected in real-time as the reaction proceeds. Continuous data collection enables one of the principal applications of real-time PCR, target quantitation. Because quantitation is among the most common uses for real-time PCR, it is often referred to as quantitative PCR or qPCR. Life Technologies offers tools to provide reliable real-time results the first time and every time. With trusted Applied Biosystems® instruments and software, TaqMan® Assays and master mixes tailored for success, and innovative products for new real-time PCR research applications, such as digital PCR, castPCR™ rare sequence detection, and even products for protein analysis, we can accelerate your real-time PCR research. |
