qPCR Efficiency Calculator

Science & Engineering

E=(10^(−1/slope)−1)×100% · standard curve · 90-110%

Quick Answer

qPCR Efficiency Calculator: E=(10^(−1/slope)−1)×100% · standard curve · 90-110%. qPCR Efficiency Calculator uses standard science & engineering formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

How it works

  1. 1Standard curve: regress Ct on log(dilution) to get the slope
  2. 2E=(10^(−1/slope)−1)×100%
  3. 3Ideal slope −3.32 → E=100% (exact doubling per cycle)
  4. 4Pass: E 90-110% with R²≥0.99

Standard curve input

Amplification efficiency100.1%
Amplification factor：2.00 ×
Verdict：Pass (90-110%)
Low efficiency (<90%): template secondary structure, primer-site variants, inhibitor carryover, overly stringent annealing. High (>110%): primer-dimers, nonspecific bands or gDNA contamination. Build curves from 5 ten-fold points in duplicate; rebuild after any primer/probe/master-mix change. ΔΔCt requires target and reference efficiencies within 5%.
