PCRAnalysen
PCRAnalysen is a term used to describe molecular laboratory tests that detect and quantify specific nucleic acid sequences using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. It encompasses a range of techniques, including conventional end-point PCR, reverse transcription PCR for RNA targets, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and digital PCR (dPCR), each adapted to particular analytical needs.
The basic principle involves selective amplification of target DNA or cDNA derived from RNA, allowing detection
Common applications include medical diagnostics (infectious disease testing, genetic disorder screening), research (gene expression studies, genotyping),
Limitations include potential contamination, variable sensitivity across sample types, and the need for standardized procedures and
