Although it has only been around for 2 or 3 years, the QX100™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system from Bio-Rad Laboratories has already received a prestigious award, and has been groundbreaking research into HIV and GMO quantification. In this short period of time, close to 50 labs have chosen to add the QX100 system to their [...]
A study published in PLOS ONE finds that Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology is suitable for routine analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, feed, and seeds. More than 60 countries representing 40 percent of the world’s population require labeling of food and feed when GMOs reach certain thresholds. Screening for and quantifying GMOs [...]
Researchers have now been using Bio-Rad’s QX100™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system for over a year. Their work is beginning to take this system, based on the partitioning of samples into thousands of droplets for individual analysis, from the realm of promise to reality. A recent article in bioradiations, took an in depth look at how [...]
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. today announced that it has received the Frost & Sullivan 2012 North American Laboratory Researchers’ Choice: Future Market Leader of Digital PCR Technology Award, for its QX100™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system. This annual award is given to a company that has demonstrated excellence and distinguished itself through proactive strategies that position the [...]
In May of this year Nature Methods published an article, “Digital PCR hits its stride.” What is this new technology? Will it replace more conventional methods such as Real Time PCR? And what new opportunities does this new disruptive technology open up? To answer these questions, Mendelspod produced a podcast with George Karlin-Neumann, Director of [...]
