[DIYbio] Re: Can I do these tests at home? Parasites, chlamydia...

I understand that, but equipment-wise it is more complicated. DIY community does traditional PCR, at least I noticed that here, people mostly do pcr, gel electrophoresis for detection/verification. Maybe if one is really confident with the protocol, one can estimate original DNA amount by the electrophoresis line intensity, like compare to a known amount, but overall sounds very difficult.

qPCR doesn't just tell you what DNA you have but how much dna you have.
