Discriminating Copy Number Variation from Heterogeneous Samples Using the S3™ Cell Sorter and the QX200™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System

This application note shows that combining technologies such as flow cytometry, cell sorting, and digital PCR can enable highly accurate and more specific results attributed to cell populations of interest vs. the bulk heterogeneous populations. By pairing tools like Bio-Rad’s S3 Cell Sorter and the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System, targeted populations can be further characterized to uncover correlations in cancers and diseases.
