Digital PCR Applications

Digital PCR is highly sensitive and precise, making it ideal for detecting rare targets and measuring small-fold changes.

Share

Digital PCR (dPCR) is a powerful technology for detecting and quantifying nucleic acids. In dPCR, nucleic acids within a sample are randomly distributed into numerous small-volume micro-reactions and amplified in parallel. dPCR does not rely on references or standards to obtain target concentrations, which helps reduce variability caused by relying on these standards for quantitative measurement. It is also highly sensitive and precise, making it ideal for detecting rare targets and measuring small-fold changes.
