Hello,

 

I want to understand how do i analyze melt curve after my qPCR? What are the different curves?

I am just aware that melt curve analysis is done to check for secondary products or primer dimer formation.

 

I would appreciate your help in understanding the melt curve.

 

Thanks

What curves the systems gives you is dependent on the system. Typically it is a simple fluorescence (usually normalized) over temp plot with a curve per sample. However, I wonder, if you are supposed to do this experiments is the lab/course not explaining you how the systems work?

For some reason i cannot upload a picture here.

 

I just wanted to know what does the peak represents? And if i had secondary products/contamination/primer dimers then i would have extra peaks right?

Thanks for guiding me on how to upload the pictures.

 

Here are the pictures

 

The first picture is of the NTC and the other two are of the 2 unknown samples in triplicates.
