As research demands grow more complex, traditional PCR methods can fall short in delivering consistent, absolute results. Variability, limited sensitivity, and challenges in detecting rare targets often hinder progress. These barriers can slow workflows and restrict the questions researchers are able to answer.


In this Teach Me in 10, Dr. Chelsea Pratt, Biopharma Segment Marketing Manager at Bio-Rad, explores how droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) overcomes these limitations—reshaping how scientists approach nucleic acid quantification with greater precision and sensitivity.


Watch this episode to discover:

  • How ddPCR differs from qPCR in principle and performance
  • Why partitioning and Poisson statistics enhance quantification
  • Where ddPCR delivers the most impact across research and development
