PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization

Chapter 3. Figure 2. A screenshot from BioRad CFX software showing example of a bad standard curve. PCR efficiency was measured as 194.5% across three out of four 10-fold template dilutions. The slope of the curve was calculated as -2.133 and the R2 value as 0.722. Red circles are drawn to highlight replicate samples giving inconsistent Cq values, a potential outcome of inaccurate pipetting.
