High Sensitivity at Low Target Concentration
The sensitivity of TaqMan® RNA-to-CT™ 1-Step Kit was validated using a synthetic RNA template for which copy number is precisely known. Significant sampling error occurs when measuring low quantities of target, so statistical analysis is required for proper evaluation using multiple replicates. Figure 2 shows the expected quantity of target and corresponding mean CT values. Statistical analysis indicates high confidence of sample quantification based on a T-test (Table I), consistent with as few as 10 copies of target.
