The use of DNA as a biomarker relies on analysis tools that are highly sensitive and give reproducible results. Digital PCR is a newer technology for DNA detection and quantification that is rapidly being adopted for applications in precision medicine.
This seminar will cover the following topics:
•
Digital PCR basics and assay development
•
The application of digital PCR to disease diagnostics
•
Digital PCR for highly sensitive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)
•
Cell-free DNA cancer testing with digital PCR
Standardisation of Innovative cfDNA Assays, an Essential Ingredient: Controls!
Molecular Diagnostics: ddPCR for Rapid RHD Zygosity Determination and Highly Sensitive Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) of Fetal Sex and RHD Genotype
