VIMCFX96_meltcurve {chipPCR}

Melting Curve Measured with the Bio-Rad CFX96

Description

Data set of a melting curve using the Bio-Rad CFX96 thermo cycler. The samples of Vimentin were measured in the CFX96 as replicates according to Roediger et al. (2013). The quantification was performed during the gradient from 55 to 95 degrees Celsius with a resolution of 0.5 degrees Celsius per step.

Usage

data(VIMCFX96_meltcurve)

Format

A data frame with 81 observations on the following 97 variables. The first column ("Temperature") contains the temperature and consecutive columns contain the replicates ("A1" to "H12").
