Spinach is the quintessential healthy food, and itâs no surprise that itâs also high in potassium. Bananas get a lot of attention for their potassium content, but ounce for ounce spinach bests them in the potassium department.
New Applications. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is used to simultaneously detect a specific DNA sequence in a sample and determine the actual copy number of this sequence relative to a standard. In real-time PCR, the DNA copy number can be established after each cycle of amplification.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technology in molecular biology used to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Digital PCR (dPCR) : used to measure the quantity of a target DNA sequence in a DNA sample. 2  The DNA sample is highly diluted so that after running many PCRs in parallel, some of them do not receive a single molecule of the target DNA.
