Applications of multiplex digital PCR: Monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 and measuring Bacterial Gene Expression

Digital PCR is a specialized tool for nucleic acid quantification, which has applications in many research areas including those in microbiology and virology research. Leveraging optical multiplexing, multiple targets expected within a single sample can be tested in a single digital PCR reaction, providing absolute quantification without the need for a reference or standard curve.

 

In this webinar, invited speaker Dr. Joan L. Slonczewski of Kenyon College will describe their ongoing research, which leverages digital PCR.
