A more challenging weakness of amplification-based methods is that they are not intrinsically well-suited to quantitation of the target analyte; the combination of non-linear amplification (exponential, in most methods), stochastic effects, and variable presence of inhibitory substances in samples all make quantitation highly challenging.
