qPCR WORKSHOPS

BioEPS GmbH - qPCR Application Workshops

Life Science is still a growing sector and new methods and technologies are continously developed. Therefore permanent training and education becomes so important.
With our specific course program we are offering a range of high-quality course modules in cooperation with different companies to give a general and independent overview of existing qPCR technologies and systems. Our course issues are based on skilled know-how from own research studies and publications.

Our aim is to point out a critical way of thinking to increase the quality and outcome of experimental data.

All BioEPS services are based on the MIQE guidelines (Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative real-time PCR Experiments), the first guidelines for quality assurance within qPCR technology => http://miqe.gene-quantification.info http://miqe.gene-quantification.info/

All courses are held regularly in Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany, in German and English language.
Further customized workshops and specialized trainings will be held as well across Europe and world-wide.
Workshops are powered by BioEPS GmbH http://www.bioeps.com/, located at the campus of the Technical University of Munich, in Freising-Weihenstephan, very close to the Munich Airport (MUC).
For more information and registration, please see our web page => http://workshops.gene-quantification.info

next course

Real-time or quantitative PCR (qPCR) allows quantification of starting amounts of DNA, cDNA, or RNA templates. qPCR is based on the detection of a fluorescent reporter molecule that increases as PCR product accumulates with each cycle of amplification. Fluorescent reporter molecules include dyes that bind double-stranded DNA (i.e. SYBR Green I) or sequence-specific probes (i.e. Molecular Beacons or TaqMan® Probes). qPCR exceeds the limitations of traditional end-point PCR methods by allowing either absolute or relative quantification of the PCR product at the end of each cycle. This qPCR Workshop is an introductory course with theoretical and practical sessions. Participants will get an overview of qPCR technology from sampling to data analysis. Hands-on experiments show how to perform qPCR experiments under the supervision of Dr. Martina Reiter and Dr. Michael Pfaffl, both experts in qPCR technology and data analysis. Sessions on data analysis, normalization and quantification methods will explain how to reliable interpret qPCR results => Registration Form http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/europe/events/qpcr-seminar.html
