DPCR CUSTOM ASSAY DESIGNERS

Create high-specificity custom digital PCR assays

Our online design tools let you easily create and order tailor-made dPCR primer and probe sets for detecting targets where no predesigned products are available. These custom dPCR assays are designed for use with QIAcuity PCR kits compatible with hydrolysis probes and the QIAcuity digital PCR instrument. Our dPCR custom design tools currently support the following applications, delivering results with exceptional accuracy, precision and reproducibility.

  • Copy Number Variation (CNV) Analysis: Custom dPCR CNV Probe Assays empower you to confidently detect and quantify subtle changes in gene copy numbers, enabling breakthroughs in areas such as cancer research, genetic disorders and developmental biology. These assays provide clear, easy-to-interpret results, allowing you to focus on what matters most - advancing your research.
  • Microbial Detection: Custom dPCR Microbial Assays enable precise quantification of bacteria, fungi or viruses, making them ideal for applications in pathogen detection, environment monitoring and microbiome research. With these assays, you can achieve reliable, reproducible data to drive your studies forward with confidence.
