ddPCR Technology
-
Droplet Digital PCR technology is a digital PCR method utilizing a water-oil emulsion droplet system. Droplets are formed in a water-oil emulsion to form the partitions that separate the template DNA molecules. The droplets serve essentially the same function as individual test tubes or wells in a plate in which the PCR reaction takes place, albeit in a much smaller format. The massive sample partitioning is a key aspect of the ddPCR technique.

All droplets are 100% full.
-
Droplet volumes are validated by 3rd parties using imaging and DNA standards.
-
Droplet volume is monitored and gated inside ddPCR systems.
-
Picoliter-level accuracy and precision of droplets delivers accurate and repeatable results.
