Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has been a cornerstone technique in molecular biology for decades, enabling the amplification and detection of specific DNA sequences. Over time, advancements have improved the efficiency and precision of PCR, leading to the development of real-time PCR, a powerful tool for quantification and analysis of nucleic acids. In this blog, we will explore how Revna Biosciences, a cutting-edge technology platform, offers real-time PCR with exceptional accuracy, speed, and versatility.
Real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), allows researchers to monitor the amplification of DNA in real-time as the reaction progresses. Unlike traditional PCR, which provides endpoint results, real-time PCR provides quantitative data, enabling precise measurement of DNA or RNA targets. This technology uses fluorescent probes that emit a signal in proportion to the amount of amplified target, facilitating accurate quantification.
