Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) Video

Characterizing biomarkers in lung cancer tumors is challenging due to the high risks associated with tissue retrieval. Liquid biopsy offers a safer alternative but requires highly sensitive and precise methods to generate robust results from minimal genetic material. In this video, Dr. Schuuring of the University Medical Center Groningen discusses how Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) is used in his laboratories and why this technology has become critical for his research.

Methods that are highly accurate and precise provide the right answer, consistently. For digital PCR (dPCR), Poisson statistics dictate that the accuracy and precision of results are dependent on the accuracy and precision of sample partitions. This means that to get reliable dPCR results, you need to know your partition volume accurately and your partition volumes need to be consistent. See how our Droplet Digital PCR technology provides both accuracy and precision.

Gain access to high-performance chromatin profiling to unravel the complexities of cellular heterogeneity, differentiation, and disease-specific alterations in gene regulation. With single-cell ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing), you can delve into the gene regulatory landscape of individual cells, unlocking invaluable insights into the epigenomic mechanisms that shape their behavior.

Find out how a new Droplet Digital PCR-based technique called Drop Phase lets you quickly and easily phase genomes to better understand diseases like cystic fibrosis.

South of Los Angeles, near some of America’s most famous beaches, one small agency is working on new methods for coastal water monitoring. Watch this video and see how scientists from SCCWRP, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, are using Droplet Digital PCR to watch over swimmer safety and ensure a clean environment.

Prof. Alec Morley, a pioneer in digital PCR, describes his use of Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology to advance the diagnosis and treatment of leukemia. Morley and his colleagues at Flinders University and Medical Center in Adelaide, South Australia previously developed a digital PCR method for the early detection of residual acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Learn how Morley is now using Bio-Rad’s ddPCR technology to develop a diagnostic test for monitoring chronic myeloid leukemia.
