Hi there,
My synthetic control length was made to be 226 base pairs long. The primers for my target are at either end of this synthetic control (Forward primer-random sequence-reverse primer), however my expected amplicon length for this Real-time PCR run is around 120bp. Can I still use this synthetic control to calculate a standard curve? Would it need to be the same length as my intended product or would this be ok to calculate the standard curve with?
Thanks in advance for your help!
