Digital PCR Conference: Applications and Advances


	Conference Proceeding CD Now Available Single Copy - $500.00Site License - $1,695.00	Speaker Presentations Poster Abstracts and More!

Thank you for your interest in Digital PCR! Please review it's new sister conference Integrating Digital PCR, taking place April 11-12, 2013 in Boston, MA.

Over a decade ago, real-time PCR set the standard for sensitive DNA quantification with researchers relying heavily on the process for disease research, diagnosis, and preventative medicine. Today, digital PCR is poised to make a significant impact in the diagnostics field. By allowing for detection of nucleic acids at higher resolution and lower target levels, digital PCR has the ability to identify diseases earlier in progression, providing an advantage for diagnostics and preventative medicine. Its ability to precisely analyze nucleic acids at a molecular level makes it ideal for tasks such as detecting copy number variation and point mutations. This meeting will evaluate novel digital PCR technologies for research, demonstrate innovative amplification techniques, and present strategies for solving common research bottlenecks.
