Finding a needle in a haystack - the power of digital PCR

Digital PCR is used for a variety of different applications aimed at detecting rare events in complex mixtures and allowing for small fold change differences to be detected. It is indeed like finding a needle in a haystack.

The QIAGEN digital PCR technology and its expanded capability will not only transform the portfolio of conventional qPCR applications but also provide a more rapid, accurate, and sensitive method for finding answers to difficult biological questions. With its fully integrated and walkaway automation, the nanoplate-based digital PCR will make it easy for you to find the rare positive as a routine.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What is unique to this technology?
• How was it conceived, and how is it being developed?
• What possibilities do you have with the workflow?
