Digital PCR (dPCR) is an advanced approach for the absolute quantification of specific DNA and RNA sequences by using partitioned amplification reactions. This method is an adaptation of traditional PCR techniques, offering improved precision, sensitivity, and accuracy. Some advantages of dPCR over other quantification methods include independence from standard curves, higher tolerance to PCR inhibitors, and the capability to detect low-abundance targets.

Single-cell sequencing represents a major advancement in genomics, offering researchers the ability to discern cellular heterogeneity at unprecedented resolution. For effective single-cell experiments, proper sample isolation and nuclei counting are required. Automated cell counters have become essential components of this workflow, providing reliable quantification across diverse sample types.
