Quantitative PCR (qPCR)
Sometimes referred to in forensic science as real-time PCR. An amplification process that detects and measures the accumulation of fluorescent dyes as the reaction progresses. The initial quantity of DNA in the sample is detected by monitoring the exponential growth phase of the reaction and measuring the cycle number at which the fluorescent intensity of the sample overcomes the background noise or threshold.
