Digital PCR platform

The IGH Digital PCR platform, led by Gael Petitjean, is an open‑access core facility for researchers who require digital PCR technology. Advances in digital PCR offer exceptional sensitivity, precision, and accuracy for DNA/RNA detection and amplification. Its high sensitivity provides key advantages such as rare‑event detection and absolute quantification. The new QX600 6‑plex droplet digital PCR system enables high‑throughput multiplex detection of up to 12 DNA/RNA targets simultaneously.

The platform provides users with a restricted‑access white room that ensures optimal conditions for studying rare events without the risk of contamination; a droplet generator and plate sealer for sample partitioning or single‑cell encapsulation; and the latest‑generation QX600 6‑plex droplet reader, which offers the highest level of multiplexing (six colors). Mandatory training is provided free of charge, along with support for experimental design and follow‑up, upon request.
