| Abstract |
Polymerase chain reaction is a useful technique in microbial diagnostics to detect and quantify DNA or RNA of low abundance. Bacterial and viral nucleic acid can be amplified by PCR upon clinical sample extraction using specific primers for classical qualitative PCR and primers and probes for real-time PCR. Here we describe the Scorpion-probe real-time PCR-based assay that offers thermodynamic advantages due to its kinetic reaction and provides faster performances compared to a classical double-labeled probe-based assays. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 December 2014.
All research outputs
#15,300,431
of 22,755,127 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,313
of 13,089 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#190,008
of 305,246 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#200
of 597 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,755,127 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,089 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,246 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 597 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
