Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) are powerful molecular biology techniques for quantifying and analyzing DNA or RNA, but they differ in their approach and applications. Traditional qPCR is widely used for detecting and quantifying highly specific DNA or RNA sequences in a range of research and clinical diagnostic applications. However, dPCR technology offers greater precision and sensitivity than qPCR, and is designed to handle tasks requiring precise quantification.
In this GEN webinar, our panelists Jim Huggett, PhD, and Boshen Gao will introduce the dPCR workflow and discuss this technology’s advantages over traditional qPCR including higher precision, more flexibility, increased sensitivity, and true absolute quantification. You’ll learn the differences between the technologies, including the resources and equipment needed to perform dPCR experiments and some of the pitfalls to look out for. They will also discuss types of applications that are best suited for the technology.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentation, offering you a chance to pose questions to our expert panelists.
