  • Detection of amplicon contamination during PCR exhibiting two different annealing temperatures
    Patent number: 7914986
    Abstract: A method to perform PCR reactions with one set of primers comprising sequence elements that are complementary to the target sequence and comprising sequence elements that server as tagging sequences. By conducting amplification reactions at different temperatures, the presence of contaminations arising from amplification products of previous reactions can be determined, improving reliability of the reaction and reducing the need for control reactions and reproduction of reactions.
