Ribosomal RNA Validated as Stable Reference for Plasma qPCR
Original: Ribosomal RNA Passes Its Test as a Steady Reference in High-Throughput Plasma qPCR
Researchers report that ribosomal RNA holds up as a steady reference molecule in high-throughput qPCR testing of blood plasma. A stable reference gene is essential for accurately measuring other molecules in liquid biopsy and diagnostic workflows, and the finding suggests rRNA could improve consistency across large sample batches compared with commonly used alternatives.
Why now: The validation matters for laboratories relying on plasma qPCR, where unstable reference genes can distort results in high-throughput diagnostics.
