As the digital PCR (dPCR) technology evolves and becomes more accessible and affordable, researchers explore new frontiers, including its applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture and agronomy. This technique provides absolute quantification of nucleic acid samples without the need for calibration. Notably, the power of partitioning in a new rapid and fully integrated nanoplate-based system holds the promise of a digital future in PCR: the more the partitions, the higher the resolution, accuracy and sensitivity. Besides, with more partitions, one can still analyze a higher volume of diluted samples. Our experts will discuss how you can achieve all this with dPCR and still keep the familiarity of qPCR plate handling and workflow.
Laboratories see dPCR as a primary reference measurement tool to quantify reference standards. These standards could, in turn, be used to develop diagnostics and other tests with results that are comparable and reproducible across laboratories worldwide. This session will also highlight one such step toward creating a traceable and smart diagnostic.
The session will cover:
• Introduction to dPCR technology
• What’s unique about QIAGEN’s dPCR portfolio
• How can dPCR impact diagnostics
• Emerging applications of dPCR
• dPCR services with global partners
