There is a paper by Larionov et al which describes a 2 standard curve method. Worth looking at. They also give an option for amplitute normalization - I haven't made my mind up about that yet, but am prepared to give a go. You can get Excel spreadsheets to make calculations easier. How similar to the Rotorgene calculations I'm not sure.

Hi tiredkhan,

Try this:

Pfaffl, M.W. (2001) Nucleic Acids Research. 29(9):e45
