Comparative Ct Method Calculation Steps<br />

step 1: Normalization to endogenous control<br />

Ct Target gene – Ct Endogenous control = ∆Ct<br />

Do both for calibrator and samples<br />

step 2: Normalization to calibrator sample<br />

∆Ct Sample – ∆Ct Calibrator = ∆∆Ct<br />

step 3: use the formula<br />
