Explanation on broad band and low intensity in ddPCR?

11 November 2018 0 7K Report

I was expecting only ~110bps amplicon in my sample, but I see a very broad band. Attached is the result. 2 and 4 only contain the template, no primers. Also, I think my intensity is kind of low.

Can I detect any amplicon less than 50bps with qPCR?

I want to count the amount of crRNA expressed in a plasmid with Ecoli. I am not sure whether I can use a RT-qPCR to do it. The length is between 50 - 100bps.
