DigitalPCR™ Products -- Fall 2008

Digital Emulsion PCR Kit

Kit disperses PCR ready sample into millions of droplets (or micelles) in a hydrophobic, immiscable oil matrix.  After amplification, nucleic acids are counted using a high resolution, florescence DigitalPCR reader that determines the properties of each micelle.  The volume of each droplet is approximately 10 picoliters.  All sample preparations are carried out in one 96-well plate, eliminating the need for expensive robotics.

Digital Emulsion PCR Pathogen Kit

A Digital Emulsion PCR kit for pathogen detection, where sets of PCR primers, probes and reagents for the detection of different pathogens are pre-loaded in optically clear 96 well plates.  The Digital Emulsion PCR Pathogen Kit is for surveillance of pathogens in hospitals, foods and veterinary laboratories, for early detection and counting of harmful pathogens, and for assessment of antibiotic resistance.  Each 96-well plate will be available for analysis of one pathogen in ninety samples or ninety pathogens in one sample.

Digital Emulsion PCR Genotyping Kit 

Comprises a Digital Emulsion PCR kit for cancer surveillance.  PCR primers, probes and reagents for well characterized polymorphisms in genes lost during tumor development are pre-loaded into 96 well plates.  The kit is for quantitative genotyping for assessment of allele imbalance and loss of heterozygosity for cancer detection and assessment of cancer recurrence.  Loss of heterozygosity is well studied phenomenon in cancer cells.  During cancer development and cancer recurrence, tumor DNA with signature loss of heterozygosity patterns are spilled into serum.  The Digital Emulsion PCR Genotyping kits are designed to count deviation from heterozygosity or allele imbalance in serum (or other biological material) that sample from tumors among cancer survivors or from individuals at high risk for cancer.
