Even standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology should, in principle, boost weak mutant signals so that they may emerge from all the genomic noise emitted by wild-type sequences. Yet standard ...
PCR has allowed scientists to amplify scarce amounts of DNA and engage in the type of research that will help us understand the genetics of who we are, why people are prone to developing certain ...
When it comes to detecting rare cancer-causing mutations, both sensitivity and specificity matter. In the past few years, digital PCR (dPCR) has captured the attention of researchers and clinicians ...
Digital PCR (dPCR) is an exceptionally accurate and sensitive method ideally suited for identifying copy number variations (CNVs), also referred to as copy number alterations (CNAs). The Digital ...
In the first study 1, clinicians in Wuhan, China observed that a subset of infected individuals who tested negative for COVID-19 using qPCR tested positive using ddPCR. The findings suggest that ddPCR ...
FORMULATRIX has announced that their digital PCR assets, including the CONSTELLATION® series of instruments, is being acquired by QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: QIA) for up to $260 ...
Philadelphia, March 27, 2025 – Researchers have found that the clinical application of BCR::ABL1 digital PCR can reliably quantify stable deep molecular remission of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), ...
