I am validating my primer which will be used for relative quantification by doing a serial dilution. For 2 of my dilutions I have an outlier that is affecting my R2. I know an acceptable R2 is anything above 0.99. After omitting my 2 outliers my R2 improves to 0.992 from 0.963, while the efficiency reminds about the same, at 86%. I want to know if this is acceptable to determine if my primer passes. Any help will be appreciated.
