What does multiplex mean in qPCR?

In multiplex qPCR, two or more target genes are amplified in the same reaction, using the same reagent mix. ... Thus, the number of genes that can be tested using the limited amount of biopsy sample will be restricted by running singleplex reactions for each gene.

How does multiplex real-time PCR work?

In case the name doesn't give it away, multiplex real-time PCR involves amplifying multiple DNA or RNA targets simultaneously in a single PCR reaction. ... Multiplex PCR arose in the late 1980s as a rapid method to detect mutations in the gene responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
