Uninterruptible Power Supply Improves Precision of Telomere Length Measurement via qPCR

Researchers, Waylon Hastings and Idan Shalev, investigated how using a UPS influenced TL assessment via qPCR. Standard deviation and coefficient of variation across replicates were compared for samples assessed with or without the use of an uninterruptible power source (UPS). Amongst other results, researchers found that samples run with a UPS had significantly lower standard deviation (p<0.001) and coefficient of variation (p=0.002) than those run without a UPS. Thus, UPS status decreases variability within sample replicates while maintaining the overall quality of the qPCR assay.
