Through our subscription to Bitesize Bio, we received an update covering practical resources and insights for scientists. One of the highlights is a new application note on digital PCR (dPCR), which dives into workflows designed to detect rare targets with unmatched precision.
The note demonstrates how dPCR can quantify rare variants down to 0.001% frequency and includes:
- Assay panels optimized for blood-derived samples
- Multiplex formats: duplex, triplex, and fourplex
- One-step and two-step RT-dPCR workflows
Other Insights
The newsletter also brought two valuable articles for researchers seeking to optimize their labs and careers:
- To Build or To Buy? – An analysis of whether to construct your own imaging system or invest in commercial solutions.
- How to Become an Expert at Getting Funded – Grant proposal strategies and funding tips shared by Joel Berry, a veteran biomedical engineer with 30+ years of experience.
This kind of knowledge-sharing exemplifies how scientific communities like Bitesize Bio empower researchers with practical solutions and mentorship from global experts.
