Amp-PCR: combining a random unbiased Phi29-amplification with a specific real-time PCR, performed in one tube to increase PCR sensitivity.

In clinical situations where a diagnostic real-time PCR assay is not sensitive enough, leading to low or falsely negative results, or where detection earlier in a disease progression would benefit the patient, an unbiased pre-amplification prior to the real-time PCR could be beneficial. In Amp-PCR,...
