What method(s) should be used for analyzing qPCR amplification products?

When using a validated primer, previous melt curve analysis (Tm values) can serve as a reference. If the Tm value is the same as observed in the past, it is reasonable to assume that the PCR product is the same as that obtained in the past.
Keep in mind, however, that although identical PCR products will show the same Tm value, obtaining identical Tm values alone does not necessarily confirm that the PCR products are identical. An independent confirmation method should be used; when using a primer for the first time, please perform electrophoresis to confirm that the amplification product of the real-time PCR is the intended size.
