Abstract excerpt
Background: Droplet digital (dd)PCR is a new-generation PCR technique with high precision and sensitivity; however, the positive and negative droplets are not always effectively separated because of the "rain" phenomenon. We aimed to develop a practical optimization and evaluation process for the ddPCR assay and to apply it to the detection of BRAF V600E in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens of thyroid...
