An Introduction to Real-time PCR and Examples of Its Applications

Real-time PCR is already well established in many fields, including food safety and quality testing and environmental assessment. It enables the rapid and sensitive detection of specific nucleic acids. Some of the applications include detecting pathogens in food and water, food and animal feed ingredient authentication, and the detection and quantification of DNA from genetically modified organisms. This one-hour webinar is an introduction to the technology and an analysis of its benefits.

The topics include:

• Real-time PCR and how it works for us
• Benefits of using real-time PCR for pathogen detection
• Practical tips for real-time PCR applications
