Problem in detection of a specific gene & elimination of primer dimer in qpcr?

In our lab, we are trying to do real time PCR for some genes. One of them has a size of 85 bp. Whatever we do, we had an amplification in negative control. When we run agarose gel, it always a...

Why non-specific band appear on T-ARMS PCR?

Hi everyone. We want to know how can I remove the non-specific band amplification on this variant. Although the amplification of non-specific band is not as intense as the band that we want, but...

Xrd result of ZnO thin film shown better crystallinity at low temperature and the crystallinity decreases as the temperature increased. why?

I have synthesized ZnO thin films at four different substrate temperature say, 300, 350, 400 and 450C. and the samples were annealed at 450C for half an hour. the xrd result shown better...

Do you have experience of second round PCR amplification issue?

When 1st-round PCR amplification was finished , I could get a clear expected band, but the amount was very low, so I cut the band and run second-round PCR with same condition, it didn't work, I...

I am trying to amplify my gene of interest (GOI, 2000 kb long) by PCR. My previously designed primers are not working. How can I optimize the primers?

As I wanted to amplify my GOI, I chose first 18 nucleotides including start codon in my forward primer. I add BAMHI recognition site at the beginning and 3 nucleotide extension for the efficient...
