28 3 Real-Time PCR – The Basic Principles
Real Time PCR allows detection and quantitative measurement of products gen-
erated during each cycle of the PCR process that are directly proportional to the
amount of the template DNA before the start of the PCR process. Such chemistry
requires the use of a method to detect the product formed on each cycle and of a
thermocycler that is adapted to record the results obtained on each amplification
cycle in a Real Time manner.
