Expanded Droplet Digital PCR Multiplexing Capability Using Two Different Strategies
This application note describes strategies for amplitude-based and probe-mixing multiplexing using the large portfolio of Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) Assays available through Bio-Rad.
Multiplex Screening of KRAS Mutations in Cell-Free DNA Colorectal Cancer Samples
This application note describes a ddPCR KRAS Screening Multiplex Kit for screening actionable KRAS mutations using DeopletDigital PCR (ddPCR). The ability to screen for multiple KRAS mutations down to 0.2% in a single well reduces the likelihood that mutations will be missed in poor-quality cell-free DNA anf formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples with limited amounts of amplifiable DNA.
