Real time qPCR is considered the gold standard for accurate, sensitive, and fast quantification of nucleic acid sequences. PCR technologies, specifically qPCR (quantitative PCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) show significant promise for growth. qPCR is mainly a workhorse in the research laboratory, while dPCR is helping to push the potential for diagnostic applications due to its sensitivity, precision, robustness and reproducibility. qPCR has been established for a broad range of applications including gene expression, genotyping, pathogen detection, DNA methylation analysis.
qPCR is increasingly being used in the medical diagnostic arena for diagnosis of bacterial disease, detection of antibiotic resistance, diagnosis of infectious disease and quantification of bacterial load. It is also used to detect genetic abnormalities and cancer mutations. qPCR-based diagnostic tests are expected to expand in the coming years. dPCR provides absolute measurement of copies and would seem to be the next logical step in PCR evolution. dPCR partitions the sample and reaction components into hundreds or thousands of reaction chambers to count the presence or absence of molecules. It provides greatly improved sensitivity in the detection of rare mutations and sequences. This technology will become increasingly important in the clinical application of PCR.
