REPORT DESCRIPTION
Digital PCR and Real-time PCR (qPCR) Market – Overview
Polymer chain reaction (PCR) creates unlimited copies of DNA from a single strand using polymerase
enzymes, primers, and multiple thermal cycles. PCR diagnostics are less prone to cross-contamination, as
the procedure is conducted in automated thermal cyclers. dPCR and qPCR are common diagnostic
techniques used in the research, pharma, and biotech institutes, and are widely used in variety of
applications.
Real-time PCR allows specific and early disease diagnosis, allowing speedy and selective treatment for the
patient. Also, PCR techniques have replaced the conventional infectious disease detection methods such as
immunoassays as they are more specific and have become an integral part of laboratory diagnosis, thereby
facilitating market growth.
