Digital PCR Made Easy: Genomics Core organizing seminars, demos, and Q&A sessions

Genomics Core is hosting in-person presentations and demos for the QIAcuity and Absolute Q systems digital PCR (dPCR) platforms. dPCR enables absolute quantification of nucleic acids at unparalleled accuracy and precision, compared with other PCR-based quantification methods such as real-time PCR.

The QIAcuity presentation is scheduled for March 23rd, while the Absolute Q presentation will take place on April 5th. These events provide an opportunity for researchers and interested individuals to learn more about the capabilities and features of the systems and to see them in action. Attendees can also ask questions and engage with experts in the field.

Please RSVP to Dr. Taegun Kwon for more details about the session and a 1:1 meeting with the experts if interested.

QIAcuity dPCR system from Qiagen uses nanoplate partitions instead of droplet-based technology. Learn more about the system here.
