2023 Advanced PCR Techniques Webinar Series (Part 1 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, Abiodun Bodunrin, application scientist at Bio-Rad, provides an introduction and overview of conventional PCR, qPCR, and ddPCR. Bodunrin compares and discusses each type of PCR and gives an overview of the instruments used in PCR. In the second presentation, Joshua Steele, microbiologist at the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, discusses using ddPCR to measure beach water quality in water monitoring programs. Finally, molecular biologist Beth Boedecker provides suggestions for incorporating these PCR applications into classroom instruction.

This video runs 1:15:36 minutes in length. Part two of the Advanced PCR Techniques Webinar Series is available to view separately.
