Spinach is the quintessential healthy food, and itâs no surprise that itâs also high in potassium. Bananas get a lot of attention for their potassium content, but ounce for ounce spinach bests them in the potassium department.
New Applications. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is used to simultaneously detect a specific DNA sequence in a sample and determine the actual copy number of this sequence relative to a standard. In real-time PCR, the DNA copy number can be established after each cycle of amplification.
Real-Time PCR Assays. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the most widely used diagnostic assay for detecting norovirus. This assay detects the genetic material (RNA) of the virus. It can be used to test stool, vomitus, and environmental specimens.
