I am performing a qPCR standardization of some MGB probes. I have tried just a few times but I don't want to waste reagents, every time I tried the assay, there is a jagging line.
I am thinking that could be that the Reaction mix is not enough for the amplification or maybe I am doing wrongly the setup of the machine.
Do the MGB probes need an especial or different reaction mix?
These are my conditions:
