What are the advantages of real-time PCR?

Posted June 19, 2024


Answer

Real-time PCR offers several advantages. It can accurately measure DNA concentrations across a broad range, making it versatile for various experiments. Another advantage is that its sensitivity allows for the detection of even low levels of DNA. Thus, it's useful for detecting rare genetic mutations or quantifying gene expression levels. Additionally, it provides immediate results. Moreover, real-time PCR's capability to process multiple samples concurrently enhances efficiency and throughput.
