Viral DNA/RNA Detection & Quantitation
Droplet Digital PCR Systems for Viral Titer, LD50, and ID50 Measurements
Precise and accurate viral quantification is critical to assess disease progression and virologic response to treatment, and for the determination of viral load, infectivity, and potency.
Droplet Digital PCR enables exquisitely precise, sensitive, and absolute nucleic acid quantification without a standard curve. Bio-Rad’s ddPCR systems enable measurement of low-abundance targets, targets in complex backgrounds, and subtle changes in target levels undetectable by real-time PCR, giving ddPCR Assays the ability to accurately quantitate even very low copy numbers.
Detect single-nucleotide variants and easily discriminate between closely related viral strains with high specificity and sensitivity.
