Dr Aurita Menezes, who has a PhD in microbiology, will provide a brief overview of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and why it is the method of choice for accurately quantitating gene expression. However, when reactions do not proceed as expected, troubleshooting can prove challenging.

There are numerous factors that can affect the efficiency of amplification and thus the integrity of resulting data, including sample quality, template quantity, mastermix differences, assay design and primer/probe re-suspensions. During this webinar, Dr Menezes will cover a variety of potential issues that can affect any qPCR protocol, providing details of how they are manifested within the amplification curve, and the best techniques to overcome such concerns.
