What Is PCR Annealing Temperature Calculator? PCR Annealing Temperature Calculator The PCR Annealing Temperature Calculator estimates the melting temperature (Tm) of your forward and reverse primers and suggests a recommended annealing temperature for your PCR reaction. Use it when designing primers for conventional or real-time PCR assays to start from a sensible annealing step. The tool applies the common rule of thumb: annealing temperature equals the lowest primer Tm minus 5 degrees Celsius.. How to Use Make sure you understand the formula or method this tool uses. Enter your values in the correct fields with compatible units. Review the result, compare it with expected values, and use the related tools if needed.
