What Does HPA Stand For?
HPA stands for Hybridization Protection Assay
The Hybridization Protection Assay (HPA) is a molecular biology technique designed to detect and quantify specific nucleic acid sequences. This assay combines hybridization principles with protective elements to enhance the specificity and sensitivity of the detection process. HPA is commonly used in various applications, including diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and research, allowing for the identification of pathogen presence and gene expression analysis while minimizing background noise and non-specific binding.
