Simplify. Accelerate. Detect: dPCR in oncology
What’s in this episode
Simplify.
Is there a more precise and sensitive version of PCR to use with low-frequency variants, FFPE tissue or liquid biopsies? Nanoplate digital PCR (dPCR) is just as quick and easy as qPCR with the added advantages of increased sensitivity and up to 12-target multiplexing.
Accelerate.
See how the Christie NHS Foundation Trust is using QIAcuity dPCR to quicken the pace of lung cancer research by researching liquid biopsies and quantifying mutant allele abundance as biomarkers for treatment response.
Detect.
Learn how researchers are finding clinically significant traces of cancer too small for imaging to detect. TracerDx is using the sensitivity of dPCR to research detection of possible relapses, which may enable minimal residual disease testing and earlier interventions.

Simplify. Accelerate. Detect: dPCR in oncology translational research
In this episode, find out more about dPCR, the precise and sensitive way to detect low-frequency variants and targets in low-abundance samples. See how the Christie NHS Foundation Trust uses the simplicity of nanoplates to research treatment responses from liquid biopsies and how Tracer DX uses dPCR for minimal residual disease testing.
Q‑rious is back, and it's lighter, shorter and jam‑packed with practical tips and tricks. Made by scientists for scientists, Q‑rious is now shorter than a sitcom (with none of the commercials). It's all the information, all the interest, none of the fluff. Register below to watch it live.
