2023 Advanced PCR Techniques Webinar Series (Part 2 of 2)

In this 2-part webinar series, provided by InnovATEBIO, experts in digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) applications discuss integrating PCR into research and classroom instruction. This video features two presentations.

In the first presentation, Andrew Prantner, field marketing specialist at Bio-Rad, provides an introduction to advanced PCR technologies, offering context for the following presentation. In the second presentation, Claire Guion, senior scientist in analytical development at Andelyn Biosciences, discuss the use of PCR applications in assays, the industry's move from qPCR to dPCR, and developing ddPCR assays. Additionally, Guion provides advice for instructors on adequately preparing students for careers with PCR technologies. Finally, Damon Tighe from Bio-Rad and Beth Michaud from St. Louis Community College lead a discussion on implementing information from the presentations into classroom instruction.

This video runs 1:23:13 minutes in length. Part one of the Advanced PCR Techniques Webinar Series is available to view separately.
