Accurate quantification of supercoiled DNA by digital PCR.
Digital PCR (dPCR) as an enumeration-based quantification method is capable of quantifying the DNA copy number without the help of standards. However, it can generate false results when the PCR conditions are not optimized. A recent international comparison (CCQM P154) showed that most laboratories significantly underestimated the concentration of supercoiled plasmid DNA by dPCR. Mostly, superc...
متن کاملDigital PCR: a new DNA quantification tool
Digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quantitative PCR technique with potential to be more accurate and precise than real-time quantitative PCR without the need for a standard curve. The digital PCR sample/reaction mix is randomly distributed into a large number of partitions, such that some partitions contain no copies of the nucleic acid template and others contain at least one copy. F...
متن کاملAccurate episomal HIV 2-LTR circles quantification using optimized DNA isolation and droplet digital PCR
INTRODUCTION In HIV-infected patients on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), the detection of episomal HIV 2-LTR circles is a potential marker for ongoing viral replication. Quantification of 2-LTR circles is based on quantitative PCR or more recently on digital PCR assessment, but is hampered due to its low abundance. Sample pre-PCR processing is a critical step for 2-LTR circles quanti...
متن کاملComparison of four digital PCR platforms for accurate quantification of DNA copy number of a certified plasmid DNA reference material
Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is a unique approach to measurement of the absolute copy number of target DNA without using external standards. However, the comparability of different dPCR platforms with respect to measurement of DNA copy number must be addressed before dPCR can be classified fundamentally as an absolute quantification technique. The comparability of four dPCR platform...
متن کاملDigital PCR for direct quantification of viruses without DNA extraction
DNA extraction before amplification is considered an essential step for quantification of viral DNA using real-time PCR (qPCR). However, this can directly affect the final measurements due to variable DNA yields and removal of inhibitors, which leads to increased inter-laboratory variability of qPCR measurements and reduced agreement on viral loads. Digital PCR (dPCR) might be an advantageous m...
