Application Notes
See how the Absolute Q dPCR platform has been used for a number of applications.
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.
Using Digital PCR for Optimization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA Extraction Protocol
RNA extraction is a critical step in COVID-19 molecular testing. The loss of viral RNA during the extraction step can result in false negatives. Therefore, optimization of the RNA extraction protocol to ensure consistent and high yield recovery of viral RNA could potentially improve COVID-19 testing accuracy.
4-Color Discrimination of Multi-Allele Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on the Absolute Q
In this application note created in collaboration with Integrated DNA Technologies, we demonstrate 4-color optical multiplexing for multi-allele single nucleotide polymorphism discrimination.

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.
MAP16 dPCR Plate Flexibility: Iterative Assay Optimization Using a Single Plate
The unique architecture of the Absolute Q and the MAP16 allows flexibility that is not offered by any other dPCR platform. See how assay optimization can be done efficiently using a single consumable.
Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan® Liquid Biopsy Assays for Rare Target Quantification
Read about how the Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan® Liquid Biopsy dPCR assays were used to detect 5 hot-spot cancer mutations on the Combinati Absolute Q platform.
