dPCR LNA Mutation Assays

Digital PCR (dPCR) is a powerful technique that detects and quantifies ultra-rare mutations in a high background of wild-type cfDNA down to 0.1% variant allele frequency. Here, we describe end-to-end manual and automated workflows that enable accurate detection and absolute quantification of ultra-rare PIK3CA variants in cfDNA using the QIAcuity Digital PCR System.
