Real-Time PCR Webinars

lncRNA – Discover their classification and functional mechanisms.

Long, non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are strands 200 nt or greater that have function, but do not actually code for proteins. At one time, they were considered to be few and exotic, but there is growing evidence that they are numerous (perhaps more numerous than protein-coding RNAs) and may play a more general role in transcriptional regulation. This webinar provides a general overview of lncRNA, along with a discussion of their potential impact in human biology.

A new solution for multiplex real-time PCR—adding more color to your gene expression and genotyping experiments

In this webinar you will learn how to use our new multiplexing solution to perform up to 4-plex reactions for gene expression and a duplex reaction for genotyping analysis. We will review examples of results from applications such as tumor cell analysis, maize and soy genotyping, and food-quality testing.

Expanding the PCR toolbox with Digital PCR – A review of absolute quantification and mutation detection applications on the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System

In this webinar, you will learn about how digital PCR expands the application boundaries of traditional real-time PCR by enabling absolute quantification without the use of a standard curve. With real world examples, you will see how you can go beyond measuring Ct to detecting individual molecules – gaining additional sensitivity and precision for a variety of experiments.

Fundamentals of Real-Time PCR

Explore the foundation for learning the intricacies of real-time PCR. This webinar is designed for novice users, but experienced users will benefit, too. We will examine applications, instrumentation, chemistries, PCR phases, thresholds, and Ct values. Designed and delivered by one of our experienced field application engineers, this is the first in a series of six webinars that will cover assay design, normalization, reagent choices, theory of analysis, and demonstrations of real-time PCR software.

Introduction to Digital PCR

Digital PCR is the next generation of nucleic acid quantification that allows you to go beyond the limits of real-time PCR methods.  With new technologies now available, such as the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System, obtaining absolute quantification for your nucleic acid targets is now easier than ever. 

In this webinar, you will learn about the benefits of digital PCR, how it works, and how you can use it for your applications to require more sensitivity and precision.  You will also learn how the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System employs a chip-based technology to perform simple and robust digital PCR.
