real-time polymerase chain reaction assay +   
Real-time PCR is able to detect sequence-specific PCR products as they accumulate in 'real-time' during the PCR amplification process. As the PCR product of interest is produced, real-time PCR can detect their accumulation and quantify the number of substrates present in the initial PCR mixture before amplification began.
