Would Your NGS Workflow Benefit From ddPCR™ Technology?
Quickly determine when to use NGS, ddPCR technology, or a hybrid workflow.
Are you using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and wondering when ddPCR technology can add value? This interactive decision tool helps you evaluate your workflow based on your scientific goals, whether you’re discovering variants, confirming results, or monitoring known mutations in research settings with higher sensitivity and speed.
Answer a few short questions to see how ddPCR technology can support your research goals.
Discovery: Are you searching for unknown genomic alterations?
Ideal for broad genomic profiling, biomarker discovery, and hypothesis generation.
Known Target: Do you have a specific mutation you want to confirm or quantify?
Examples: EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, ESR1, MSI, fusions, and CNVs.
Sensitive Detection: Do you need to detect rare variants across multiple samples or timepoints?
Examples: MRD research, serial sample analysis, or low-frequency variant tracking.
Turnaround Time: Do you need results quickly to keep your research moving?
Examples: Go/no-go decisions, assay optimization, or rapid sample triage.
Scale and Cost: Will you be testing the same targets across many samples or repeated studies?
Examples: High sample volumes, repeat studies, or cost-sensitive workflows.
