Music to your ears: A digital PCR Q&A podcast

28 of your dPCR questions answered in our podcast series

You want to get started with dPCR or get out of your comfort zone with more difficult samples, multiplexing and beyond. Or you’d love to help your colleague with their dPCR challenge.

But you have no time to dig through literature, read textbooks or join a webinar.

So we’ve devised a new format to pour dPCR knowledge into your brain: a three-episode dPCR podcast series, where you can hear the answers to 28 of the most common questions you sent during our recent “Digital PCR Debate.” While driving, jogging, waiting for the train...

With these, there will be no danger of falling asleep at the wheel or missing your stop. We’ve engaged our two experts, Dr. Jonathan Weiss, Associate Director R&D, and Dr. Jan Rohde, Senior Technical Sales Expert Digital PCR, to keep you engaged.

But enough reading, let’s get to the listening.

Just press play.

Part 1: Learn about the differences between qPCR and dPCR and between nanoplate and droplet-based dPCR systems.


Part 2: Dig deeper into in dPCR assay setup and data interpretation


Part 3: Explore best practices for designing multiplex assays and tips for applying dPCR to environmental and cancer research, including analysis of CNVs and SNPs 


Okay, you might miss your stop because you’re so engrossed in this dPCR exchange. But hey, enjoy responsibly.
