Digital PCR (dPCR) is an established method for the fast and reliable identification of significant cancer-related mutations. For liquid biopsy analysis, dPCR assays are a precise, cost-effective, and rapid method for monitoring response and resistance to treatment by testing for relevant cancer-driver and therapy-resistant mutations.
The TaqMan dPCR Liquid Biopsy assays detect and quantify the most common cancer-related mutations (e.g., EGFR, BRAF, KRAS, PIK3CA, JAK2), as well as therapy-resistant mutations (e.g., EGFRT790M). They have been verified and are guaranteed* to perform on the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System and other dPCR and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) instruments, including the Bio-Rad QX-100™ and QX-200™ systems and the Combinati™ Absolute Q™ dPCR System.** To learn more about the Combinati Absolute Q dPCR System, visit www.combinati.com.
White Paper: Minimally invasive, sensitive detection of rare cancer mutations using digital PCR
Liquid biopsies are increasingly being used in the detection of rare mutations for monitoring disease progression and resistance to therapy. In this white paper, learn more about the use of digital PCR as a sensitive technology for the identification of cancer driver and resistance mutations.
