Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives us the information about the molecular formula as well. Fragmentation gives the resonance-stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak with having an even mass number corresponding to loss of an even mass number. Fragmentation produces the most stable carbocation and radicals when occurs in

What are the advantages of real-time PCR over microscopy for diagnosing malaria?
a. Giemsa stain is not required for real-time PCR
b. It allows for species identification and quantification of malaria-causing plasmodium at lower blood concentration with greater sensitivity and specificity.
c. Real-time PCR doesn't require the use of a microscope which is deemed too expensive.
d. Real-time PCR has a hiher sensitivity for the main malaria-causing plasmodium, P. falciparum, than microscopy techniques.
