Abstract Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction, better known as qPCR, is the
most sensitive and specific technique we have for the detection of nucleic acids. Even
though it has been around for more than 30 years and is preferred in research applications,
it has yet to win broad acceptance in routine practice. This requires a means to
unambiguously assess the performance of specific qPCR analyses. Here we present
methods to determine the limit of detection (LoD) and the limit of quantification (LoQ) as …

Abstract
Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction, better known as qPCR, is the most sensitive and specific technique we have for the detection of nucleic acids. Even though it has been around for more than 30 years and is preferred in research applications, it has yet to win broad acceptance in routine practice. This requires a means to unambiguously assess the performance of specific qPCR analyses. Here we present methods to determine the limit of detection (LoD) and the limit of quantification (LoQ) as applicable to qPCR. These are based on standard statistical methods as recommended by regulatory bodies adapted to qPCR and complemented with a novel approach to estimate the precision of LoD.
