Glossary Term
Multiplex PCR
Abbreviation: PCR
PCR TermsEN
Definition
Amplification of several targets in a single reaction using multiple primer pairs, each distinguishable by fluorescent channel or melting profile. Multiplexing raises information per sample but makes channel allocation, dye compatibility, and competition between targets key selection criteria.
Extended Notes
Multiplex capability should be assessed together with menu fit, control design, and interpretation complexity.
