Real-Time PCR
Nick A. Saunders and Martin A. Lee present a new book on Real-Time PCR: Advanced Technologies and Applications
This essential manual provides both the novice and experienced user with an invaluable reference to a wide-range of real-time PCR technologies and applications and provides an overview of the theory of this increasingly important technique. Renowned international authors present detailed technical insights into the underlying principles, methods and practice of real-time PCR. The initial chapters cover the important aspects of real-time PCR including choosing an instrument and probe system, set-up, nucleic acid synthesis, sample extraction controls, and validation and data analysis. Further chapters provide a comprehensive overview of important real-time PCR methodologies such as quantification, expression analysis and mutation detection. This is complemented by the final chapters, which address the application of real-time PCR to diagnosis of infectious diseases, biodefence, veterinary science, food authenticity and molecular haplotyping. This timely and authoritative volume serves both as a basic introduction to real-time PCR and as a source of current trends and applications for those already familiar with the technology. The editors also aim to stimulate readers of all levels to develop their own innovative approaches to real-time PCR. An essential book for all laboratories using PCR read more ...

Quantitative Real-time PCR in Applied Microbiology review
Excerpt from a book review of Quantitative Real-time PCR in Applied Microbiology:
"reviews and illustrates the use of quantitative real-time PCR for a number of different purposes. It covers the basic process as well as the technology that has improved its performance, while also exploring the various scientific fields that use this technique routinely. It provides a complete description of what scientists need to design and perform a quantitative PCR ... useful to scientists in many different types of laboratories, including public health, environmental, clinical diagnostic, and food industry. It also can be useful to students and young investigators as well as experienced scientists. The authors clearly are familiar with the development and application of quantitative PCR and share their experience here ... This useful book is filled with valuable information for any laboratory using PCR to detect microbial agents and will serve as a resource for many years to come. " from Rebecca T. Horvat (University of Kansas, USA) writing in Doodys read more ...

Real-Time PCR in Food Science
David Rodriguez-Lazaro presents a new book on Real-Time PCR in Food Science: Current Technology and Applications
Written by experts in the field, this book is an indispensable manual for scientists in the food industry. The first section provides an introduction to real-time PCR, discusses the use of PCR diagnostics in food science, describes the principles and methods of sample preparation, and covers the verification and control of PCR procedures. The eleven chapters in the second section cover the use of real-time PCR to detect various pathogens including Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, Campylobacter, Yersinia, Staphylococcus, Clostridium, viruses and parasites. Also included is a chapter on the standardisation of real-time PCR methods in food microbiology. In the final section authors cover the use of real-time PCR for the analysis of genetically modified organisms, food allergens and for identification of animal or plant species. An invaluable book for anyone involved in food microbiology or the detection of foodborne pathogens and a recommended volume for all microbiology laboratories read more ...
