Next-Generation Sequencing Service—Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System

The main reason for using next-generation sequencing is the effective reduction in turnaround time with NGS compared to traditional methods. At the same time, next-generation sequencing makes it possible to analyze the transcriptome and genome of a species in a detailed and holistic way. CD BioSciences offers a growing range of services, from library construction to sequencing to complete experimental design and support. Our Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System-based next-generation sequencing technology can help you advance genome engineering innovation.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System

MANUFACTURER:

Bio-Rad

Feature Highlights

1. Most precise and sensitive digital PCR solution for a wide variety of applications
2. Flexible digital PCR chemistry-optimized for TaqMan Hydrolysis Probe and EvaGreen Assays
3. Flexible assay setup-scalable for high sensitivity or high throughput
4. Simple and easy-to-use workflow with 96-sample throughput
5. Droplet partitioning by the QX200 Droplet Digital technology reduces bias from amplification efficiency and PCR inhibitors
6. Convenient assay design-standard curves are not required

Applications

• Cancer biomarker studies and copy number variation
Measure varying degrees of cancer mutations, detect rare DNA target copies, and resolve copy number variation states with superior sensitivity and resolution. PrimePCR ddPCR Assays are now available for mutation and copy number detection. These are predesigned, wet-lab validated assays.
• Pathogen detection
Employ the extreme precision of the QX200 System to quantify small fold changes in target DNA or RNA molecules in pathogen detection and monitoring.
• Next generation sequencing
Perform accurate quantification and qualification of NGS libraries without the use of a standard curve.
• Gene expression analysis
Achieve reliable and reproducible measurements of small fold changes for low abundance of mRNA and miRNA.
• Environmental monitoring
Test a wide variety of environmental samples like soil and water using the QX200 System.
• Food testing
Perform routine evaluation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) using validated ddPCR met

Summary

The QX200 Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR^™) System provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules for EvaGreen or probe-based digital PCR applications.
