Thermo Fisher Scientific Unveils Q Digital PCR System for Innovation in Genetic Analysis Capabilities and Higher Research

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, introduced the Applied Biosystem QuantStudio Absolute Q-Digital PCR System, the first fully integrated digital PCR (dPCR) system designed to provide highly accurate and consistent results within 90 minutes.

dPCR has quickly become the standard for nucleic acid quantification in oncology, cell and gene therapy oncology development and other research applications because its absolute quantification enables higher accuracy and precision. Thermo Fisher recently acquired Combinati and its cutting-edge dPCR technology to rapidly develop and commercialize it alongside an expanding portfolio of assays.
