Global qPCR and dPCR Instrumentation Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) instrumentation are critical tools in molecular biology, enabling precise and accurate quantification of nucleic acids in various applications. qPCR, also known as real-time PCR, measures the accumulation of DNA during the PCR process in real-time, allowing for the quantification of specific DNA sequences. This technique is widely used in diagnostics, gene expression analysis, and pathogen detection due to its sensitivity, specificity, and ability to provide quantitative data. dPCR, on the other hand, partitions a sample into thousands of individual reactions, providing absolute quantification of DNA without the need for standard curves. This method is particularly advantageous for detecting low-abundance targets and analyzing complex mixtures, making it highly valuable in clinical diagnostics, genetic research, and environmental testing.Technological advancements have significantly enhanced the performance and capabilities of qPCR and dPCR instruments.
