Program Description

Target Level

  • This course is essential for Medical Technologist and Scientists who want to use this technology quantitatively or qualitatively in diagnostics or research.
  • This course is an advanced course. No basics of Real-Time PCR theory or practical skills will be revisited during this course. We strongly recommend that delegates only register for this Advanced Real-Time PCR Course if they have comprehensive and detailed knowledge and experience in the Basics of Real-Time PCR.
  • Delegates who do not have these skills are strongly advised to attend the Basics of Real-Time PCR Course to ensure that they are familiar with the detailed PCR theory and appropriate practical experience, as well as applications and advanced molecular biology calculations.
