Visit booth 1527 at AACR 2015 for a tour of Bio-Rad’s market-leading Droplet Digital™ PCR (ddPCR™) platform, including the award-winning Automated Droplet Generator (AutoDG™) and the newly introduced PrimePCR™ ddPCR KRAS Screening Multiplex Kit.

Since its introduction in 2012, more than 200 peer-reviewed studies have used Droplet Digital PCR for applications that range from the detection of rare mutations to the quantification of miniscule viral loads. Visit booth 1527 for demonstrations of the award-winning QX200™ Droplet Digital PCR System and the new QX200 AutoDG System, which provides an automated workflow and simplifies ddPCR. Specialists at the booth will be on hand to answer questions about Bio-Rad’s extensive portfolio of ddPCR assays, including the new PrimePCR ddPCR KRAS Screening Multiplex Kit, which allows simultaneous detection of the seven most common KRAS mutations.

Bio-Rad also invites you to a seminar that highlights how Droplet Digital PCR is changing approaches to cancer therapies:

Using Droplet Digital PCR to Guide Precision Medicine in Cancer
Dawne Shelton, PhD, Senior Scientist at the Digital Biology Center
Exhibitor Spotlight Theater, April 19, 2015, 2:00 PM

Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Droplet Digital PCRDroplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a method of quantitative PCR that partitions a sample into droplets, allowing precise detection of low-abundance targets. It is commonly used in gene expression analysis and mutation detection. Explore ddPCR systems in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Precision MedicinePrecision medicine refers to the idea of customized healthcare, where medical decisions and treatments are tailored to the individual patient. Molecular diagnostics, companion diagnostics and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) play a pivotal role in this approach. AACRThe American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is a leading organization focused on cancer research and treatment. It provides a platform for scientists, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders to share knowledge and collaborate in the fight against cancer.Cancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
