Frequently asked questions
How do probe-based and dye-based assays differ?
Probe-based assays use sequence-specific fluorescent probes to detect target DNA sequences, providing high specificity and enabling multiplexing. Dye-based assays rely on fluorescent dyes that bind to any double-stranded DNA generated during amplification. As a result, they differ primarily in how fluorescent signals are generated and how target sequences are detected.
When is PCR preferred over NGS?
PCR is typically used for rapid analysis of known targets, while NGS is better suited to comprehensive sequencing, variant discovery and broader genomic characterisation.
What factors should be considered when selecting a qPCR chemistry?
Assay specificity, multiplexing requirements, target abundance, workflow complexity and data quality requirements are key considerations.
How do quality measurement tools support molecular testing?
QMT solutions help verify analytical performance, monitor assay consistency and support confidence in measurement results across laboratories.
How do NGS and GBS support high-throughput genomic analysis?
NGS and GBS workflows are designed for large-scale genomic studies requiring extensive sequence or marker information across multiple samples.
How are molecular technologies validated for regulated laboratory environments?
Validation typically includes assessment of accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility and fitness for the intended application, supported by documented quality processes.
