Abstract :

Droplet Digital PCR partitions a DNA or RNA sample into 20,000 droplets and amplifies targeted sequences within each droplet which allows scientists to precisely detect and quantify low concentrations of target DNA and RNA sequences. ddPCR enables a range of important genomic applications, including cancer mutation detection, gene copy number determination, viral load monitoring, gene edit detection and CRISPR. The high sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of droplet digital PCR technology, as well as its rapid turnaround time and affordability, have led to its explosive uptake in molecular diagnostic and research area.
