Paulus Artimo, product manager at Sartorius Pipetting and Dispensing

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) has emerged as one of the most popular techniques used for the quantification of nucleic acid molecules. This standard laboratory technique is based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and is frequently used for gene expression analysis by quantitating changes in gene expression from biological and environmental samples. Despite qPCR now being a well-established analytical method, many limiting factors can influence qPCR effectiveness, including pipetting technique.

In this webinar, Paulus Artimo, product manager at Sartorius Pipetting and Dispensing, will discuss the best pipetting practices to help you master your pipetting technique and achieve better lab efficiency.
