Irina Afonina

Try to run your products on the gel. If you get one specific band for all of your samples, then I guess your melting curves are ok.

Norbert Bittner

I think you have a second product indicated by the curve at the lower temperature.. Can be primerdimers.. As Irina suggested run a agarose gel
