Wavelength-Selective Optical Filters: Providing More Signal and Less Background to PCR Instruments
Thu, Jul 7, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Engineers creating polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instrumentation face unique challenges in both qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using end-point analysis and quantitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using real-time analysis. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real time require a favorable signal-to-noise ratio, combined with high sensitivity. Jason Palidwar of Iridian Spectral Technologies shares the role photonics and optical filters play in qPCR instruments along with the challenges presented by their specification, design, and manufacture.
