PCR Services: Relative or Absolute Quantitation

Quantitative PCR (qPCR)

qPCR is the tried-and-true method for real-time detection of nucleic acid sequences, providing high-throughput analysis for speed and scalability. No matter the size of your sample concentrations, this method offers a wide detection range of target sequences. Select from convenient and affordable predeveloped assays or partner with our assay experts to design a custom assay to meet your project requirements.

Digital PCR (dPCR)NEW

dPCR provides absolute quantitation of nucleic acid sequences without the need for complex standard curves or reference targets. Through micro reactions, dPCR is highly sensitive for increased detection of rare transcripts and low-frequency targets. This endpoint method is optimal for reproducibility and offers straightforward data analysis and interpretation of your results.


Key Applications

qPCR

  • Gene expression
  • Copy number variation (with standard curve)
  • Confirmatory testing of NGS data
  • SNP genotyping and allelic discrimination
  • Methylation analysis (CpG)
  • Pathogen detection and quality control
  • Customized qPCR solutions

dPCR

  • Absolute copy number variation (CNV)
  • Rare mutation and allelic discrimination
  • Low-abundance transcript detection
  • Viral titer (copies/mL)
  • Vector copy number (copies/genome)
  • Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) detection in liquid biopsy

PCR for Clinical Research

Regulatory guidelines recommend the use of PCR methodology for multiple quality and safety checkpoints throughout the drug development process. For cell and gene therapy products, hyper-sensitive dPCR has largely been used for the evaluation of viral titer as well as quantification of viral vector copy number (VCN) of treated cells for AAV, lentivirus, and retrovirus.
