How does qPCR work?
qPCR and RT-qPCR can detect and measure DNA and RNA. This is very useful for investigating whether certain variants of a gene might indicate susceptibility to disease and is also an invaluable tool for medical diagnostic testing such as Covid-19 given its high level of precision and sensitivity.
We work with colleagues at the Quadram Institute to ensure that positive samples are sequenced and flagged up to the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK), which is important in the bid to track and trace variants across the country.
