Enhanced analysis of real-time PCR data by using a variable efficiency model : FPK-PCR [PDF]
Current methodology in real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis performs well provided PCR efficiency remains constant over reactions. Yet, small changes in efficiency can lead to large quantification errors. Particularly in biological samples,

Detection of Tumor Cell-Specific mRNA in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Breast Cancer-Evaluation of Several Markers with Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR [PDF]
It is widely known that cells from epithelial tumors, e. g., breast cancer, detach from their primary tissue and enter blood circulation. We show that the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in samples of patients with primary and metastatic ...

In recent years, real-time PCR has come forward as a robust and widely used molecular technique in clinical and biologicalsettings. Although it can detect very minute quantities of target nucleic acid, but quantification of specific nucleic acids is not an easy task.Accurate and precise quantification is hampered by a number of factors that may include
