Using Droplet Digital™ PCR for Cancer and Liquid Biopsy Studies

This presentation by Dr. Dawne Shelton describes how Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) can be used to measure circulating nucleic acids (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood and to detect rare tumorigenic mutations down to 0.01% or less in a high background of normal DNA. Techniques and methods discussed in this webinar will enable you to begin your own investigations.
