Comparison of Droplet Digital PCR to Real-Time PCR for Quantitative Detection of Cytomegalovirus
6 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) has been widely implemented for clinical viral load testing, but a lack of standardization and relatively poor precision have hindered its usefulness. Digital PCR offers highly precise, direct quantification without requiring a calibration curve. Performance characteristics of real-time PCR were compared to those of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) load...
