Digital PCR (dPCR) has become a practical tool in translational medicine as demands for precision and sensitivity continue to rise. Its ability to deliver reliable, absolute quantification has led to its growing use in gene expression analysis, rare variant detection, clinical diagnostics, and more. Strengths of dPCR Unlike traditional PCR, which relies on endpoint measurements, or qPCR, which estimates abundance through fluorescence and standard curves, dPCR follows a different strategy.
