In this video from Thermo Fisher Scientific, a few tips for better PCR primer design are presented. PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a common and vital part of genetic studies, biomedical research ...
Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...
The key to an optimal PCR experiment is primer design. In general, primers should be between 18 and 24 nucleotides long and have a GC content between 40 and 60 percent. Ideally primers should contain ...
