Droplet Digital PCR
Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCRTM) is Bio-Rad’s unique digital PCR technology. With unrivaled precision,
Droplet Digital PCR provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules without the
use of standard curves. It addresses the lack of scalable and practical technologies for digital PCR
implementation. The new QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System puts this powerful technology in your
hands, ready to unveil new worlds of research at previously unattainable levels.
PCR becomes “digital” through sample partitioning and the subsequent statistical analysis of
target detection across the partitions. The QX200 System uses advanced microfluidics technology
to achieve partitioning on a massive scale, generating 20,000 highly uniform nanoliter-sized droplets
per sample. For even higher sensitivity, it is possible to combine wells and analyze millions of droplets
for a single sample.
Simple and reliable, Droplet Digital PCR technology has already led to several research breakthroughs in
fields such as cancer biomarker discovery, infectious diseases, genomic alterations, and gene expression.
This research is only the beginning. What discoveries will you make using Droplet Digital PCR?
