Water is essential for life and for the successful operation of most of today’s commercial buildings. For most of us though our greatest regular interaction with it is to just turn on a tap. If water is not managed properly, however, it can have a significant and profound effect on the health of the people occupying those buildings too.

In this webinar, our expert speakers will explore the vital role of qPCR and digital PCR in supporting advanced therapy medicinal products, including cell therapies. Discover best practices for assay design, validation parameters and acceptance criteria crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of cell therapy programs. Learn how molecular precision can safeguard these innovative therapies and drive breakthroughs in the field.

Multiple solutions have been devised to increase multiplexing in qPCR, including single-well techniques, using target-specific fluorescent oligonucleotide probes, and spatial multiplexing, where
segregation of the sample enables parallel amplification of multiple targets.

There is a need for innovations that will push forward the multiplexing field in qPCR, enabling for the next generation of diagnostic tools which could accommodate high throughput in an affordable manner. To this end, the use of machine learning algorithms has recently emerged to leverage information contained in amplification and melting curves– two of the most standard biosignals emitted during qPCR – for accurate classification of multiple nucleic acid targets in a single reaction.
