Understanding Melting Temperature

Melting temperature (Tm) is the temperature at which 50% of the DNA/RNA strands are in double-stranded form and 50% are in single-stranded form. It's a critical parameter for PCR primer design and hybridization experiments.

Factors Affecting Tm

Several factors influence melting temperature, including sequence length, GC content, salt concentration, and DNA/RNA concentration. Our calculator accounts for these factors to provide accurate Tm predictions.

Applications in Research

This tool is essential for PCR primer design, probe design, and hybridization experiments. Accurate Tm calculations are crucial for experimental success in molecular biology research.
