Droplet Digital PCR
Webinar Series

Development of a reference measurement method for quantification of human cytomegalovirus

Mojca Milavec - Research Councillor

October 15, 2020, 3:00 PM BST / 4:00 PM CET

In this webinar we’ll see how Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) was used as a model organism to study the potential of qPCR and dPCR as reference methods for quantification of pathogens. What are the advantages of ddPCR vs qPCR performances in terms of sensitivity, repeatability, intermediate precision and reproducibility.

In-vivo monitoring of CAR-T cells using sensitive Droplet Digital PCR

Dr Boris Fehse, Head of Research Cell and Gene Therapy University Clinical Hospital Hamburg

June 1, 2020, 15:00 PM BST / 16:00 CEST

Dr Fehse talks us through his research about how ddPCR is excellently suited as a diagnostic tool to monitor infused cells in real-time in different body fluids.

Droplet Digital PCR: Improved detection of EGFR mutations in cell‑free plasma DNA from patients with non-small-cell lung cancer

Dr. Hochmair, PhD, Head of the Respiratory Oncology Unit - Otto Wagner Hospital Vienna

April 21, 2020, 3:00 pm GMT / 4:00 pm CET

In this webinar Dr Hochmair will show that ddPCR is highly sensitive, allows absolute quantification of mutations, and is clinically useful for the detection of EGFR mutations in cell-free plasma DNA and clinically relevant for selecting patients for osimertinib treatment

Accurate quantification of viral vectors for gene therapy by droplet digital PCR

Dr David Dobnik, PhD - Scientific Associate - National Institute of Biology

March 11, 2020, 3:30 pm GMT / 4:30 pm CET

In this webinar, we will present how quantification of AAVs is performed by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and how it can increase the accuracy of determined viral titers.
