ddPCR™ Technology Is Affordable: Starting at $42,000*
Now is the time to trade up your existing qPCR or digital PCR instrument for a Droplet Digital™ PCR (ddPCR) System.
See How ddPCR Technology Outperforms Both qPCR and Other Digital PCR Systems
Reliably Quantify Low-Abundance Targets With Easy Multiplexing
While qPCR remains a trusted tool for many genomics applications, ddPCR technology goes beyond qPCR's limits, detecting rare variants at low frequencies, quantifying low-abundance targets, and generating reliable results from limited or precious samples.
The QX700™ series of systems represents the next evolution of ddPCR technology. With higher-order multiplexing, increased throughput, and a simplified workflow, the systems deliver greater efficiency and flexibility compared to existing other PCR systems.
Starting at $42,000* for QX700™ Droplet Digital™ PCR Systems
Bio‑Rad's QX700 Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) Systems deliver the trusted performance of ddPCR in simple, all‑in‑one instruments that integrate partitioning, amplification, and analysis.
With advanced multiplexing capabilities, these systems maximize data output from your precious samples, while walkaway operation minimizes hands-on time and streamlines your research operations.
At Bio‑Rad, we believe precision shouldn't be out of reach. That's why, for a limited time, we're offering special pricing when you trade up your existing qPCR or digital PCR system—so every lab can experience the power of ddPCR technology.

What Does ddPCR Technology Mean for You and Your Data?
Implementing Droplet Digital PCR technology into your research can offer unparalleled sensitivity and absolute quantification of DNA and RNA in samples of interest, overcoming many of the limitations of qPCR and other digital PCR solutions. Discover why Bio-Rad's ddPCR technology has been the gold standard for over a decade with 12,000+ peer reviewed publications.
ddPCR Technology
Droplet Digital PCR partitions each sample into tens of thousands of nanoliter-scale droplets, enabling absolute quantification without a standard curve.
See how ddPCR technology works:

All droplets are 100% full.

Droplet volumes are validated by 3rd parties using imaging and DNA standards.

Droplet volume is measured precisely and gated inside ddPCR systems.

Picoliter-level accuracy and precision of droplets deliver accurate and repeatable results.
