Amplification Plot

Amplification Plot. Amplification plot (a) and standard curve (b) generated from The C q (quantification cycle) value for a given reaction is defined as the cycle number at which the fluorescence emission is significantly above the background The C t value increases with a decreasing amount of template

The vertical axis is in fluorescent units, and the measurement is often called ΔRn, which is a baseline subtracted normalized reporter The Real-time qPCR guide: Part 3—troubleshooting uses stylized drawings like the above and real amplification plots to help you identify the factors that could be compromising your results

Unusual qPCR amplification curve ResearchGate

The amplification plot shows two phases, an exponential phase followed by a non-exponential plateau phase However, artifacts from the reaction mix or instrument that change the fluorescence measurements associated with the C t calculation will result in template-independent changes to the C t value. To understand more about how to interpret such aberrations and what steps are needed to rectify them, see the "Troubleshooting " section on page 34

Model of a single amplification plot illustrating the nomenclature. The most valuable metric derived from the qPCR amplification curve is the so-called threshold cycle The amplification plot shows two phases, an exponential phase followed by a non-exponential plateau phase

Amplification plot of the positive control as well as representative. Three plots are available: ΔRn vs Cycle—ΔRn is the magnitude of normalized fluorescence signal generated by the reporter at each cycle during the PCR amplification (ΔRn = Rn - baseline) At some early point of this, the CT value is crossed, and our assay scores positive (and we get a cycle CT number useful for quantitation, if desired)
