Droplet Digital PCR: A Precision Tool for Liquid BiopsyMonday, 16 November 2015 at 17:30  Add to Calendar ▼2015-11-16 17:30:002015-11-16 18:30:00Europe/LondonDroplet Digital PCR: A Precision Tool for Liquid BiopsySELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comBio-Rad’s QX200 Droplet Digital PCRTM (ddPCRTM) system has become widely accepted as the tool of choice in detecting and quantifying known and actionable cell-free DNA biomarkers. Main advantages include direct quantification, high sensitivity and specificity, digital precision. ddPCR also offers fast turnaround time (less than a day) with an economical and flexible workflow tolerant to PCR inhibitors. A large number of validated assays for detection of individual or multiplexed rare mutations and copy number alteration somatic variants are widely used in cancer research and translational context. This talk will cover latest technological advances and present examples of translational research in lung, colorectal, melanoma, and breast cancer in assessing tumor response and evolution, emergence of resistance markers and monitoring of residual disease via liquid biopsy in blood. |
