Multiplexing in action – from simplicity to scientific complexity

About this episode

This episode discusses how PCR multiplexing allows for the measurement of multiple DNA or RNA targets in a single reaction, enhancing experimental design and precision.

PCR multiplexing enables scientists to measure multiple DNA or RNA targets in a single reaction, unlocking more insight from limited samples. This episode revisits real-world examples showing how multiplexing expands experimental design, improves precision, and simplifies complex workflows.
