Hi, this is my first time on this forum. I came to stop in my experiment with Real Time due to this problem. i am observing two genes of interest in a sample (multiplex). On my first run, my readings for my Sample: Gene A: 9.8851 9.9885 9.835
Gene B : 31.9156
31.7019 31.9177
well, its a good result as the standard deviation is less then 0.2
Nevertheless, on my second round of Real Time of the same assay
my result for the same sample Gene A : 13.7914 13.967 13.5537
Gene B : 31.967
31.5581 31.9262
You see.. for the Gene B value (CT) remain the same(reproducible) but Gene A which is a stable endogenous control varies.
Well, can you tell me why this happen? What factors affect the Ct values?
to note that my cDNA is of the same tube.
