Application Notes
See how the Absolute Q dPCR platform has been used for a number of applications.
Multiplexed Digital PCR for Non-Invasive Prenatal Trisomy Screening
In this study, we demonstrate the performance of a novel 4-color multiplexing non-invasive prenatal trisomy test on the Absolute Q dPCR platform to simultaneously detect T13, T18 and T21.
Emulsion-free Digital PCR Measurement of Wastewater Related Targets using the SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Surveillance 4-plex Assay
Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) enables tracking of biomarkers for specific pathogens to monitor for disease outbreak and spread. WBE’s utility in disease surveillance has been proven to be effective in monitoring for rare cases of disease.
Testing Wastewater Samples for SARS-CoV-2 Using the Absolute Q
Screening wastewater, or sewage, for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA can be an effective orthogonal monitoring method in addition to ongoing clinical testing. Wastewater serves as pooled samples from members of a community and enables broad collection of surveillance data.

Robust Quantification of Next Generation Sequencing Libraries using Absolute Q Digital PCR
Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies had accelerated the discovery of actionable genomic targets. Accurate quantification of the final library products is critical to maximizing both data quality and output. Multiple studies have demonstrated that utilizing digital PCR (dPCR) as a quantification tool for NGS libraries before sequencing helps optimize sequencing run performance, data generation, and data quality.
Improve sensitivity for rare targets by increasing total analyzed sample using digital pooling of digital PCR data
For samples with very rare targets, the volume of sample input may impact the ability to detect ultra-rare events. In this technical note, the Digital Pooling feature of the Absolute Q Analysis Software is highlighted by showcasing rare target detection of mutation allele frequencies (MAF) at 0.1% using multiple MAP16 dPCR arrays.
Using in-line process controls to evaluate sample processing workflow efficiency
An in-line process control is intended to provide quantitative information about sample loss during sample processing workflow. Typically, a process control is spiked into the initial sample before any processing takes place.
Digital PCR Wastewater Surveillance: Detect SARS-CoV-2 alongside human fecal and process controls
In this study, we characterize the LoD of the Combinati |Q| SARS-CoV-2 RT-dPCR Triplex Kit by diluting reference materials into a pooled negative matrix to determine the lowest concentration at which the assay can reliably identify the sample as containing SARS-CoV-2 targets.
Establishing the Limit of Detection for the |Q| SARS-CoV-2 Triplex Assay
In this study, we characterize the LoD of the Combinati |Q| SARS-CoV-2 RT-dPCR Triplex Kit by diluting reference materials into a pooled negative matrix to determine the lowest concentration at which the assay can reliably identify the sample as containing SARS-CoV-2 targets.
1-Step Reverse Transcription Digital PCR (RT-dPCR) in Under 2 Hours
Reverse transcription allows the detection and quantification of RNA. Here, we demonstrate a true 1-step RT-dPCR workflow on the Absolute Q by quantifying SARS-CoV-2 targets in under 90 minutes.
