In recent years, digital PCR (dPCR) has emerged as a transformative tool in molecular diagnostics, especially for pathogen identification. While traditional PCR methods, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), have offered significant advancements in detecting genetic material, digital PCR introduces an even more precise, sensitive, and quantitative approach. By leveraging absolute quantification, digital PCR has shown exceptional promise in fields ranging from infectious disease diagnostics to oncology. Its unique ability to detect low levels of nucleic acids and its robustness in the presence of inhibitors make it an invaluable tool for pathogen detection, especially in cases where the accuracy of pathogen identification is critical.
