Effect of sampling error on qPCR results. Panel A depicts Poisson distributions at low concentrations of target molecules per qPCR reaction volume, ranging from 1 to 5 molecules per reaction volume. Panel B shows the calculated effect (see Section 2.8.2) of the Poisson distribution on Cq standard deviation values at various low concentrations of target molecules per qPCR reaction volume.
