Core labs want to provide the newest technologies to their customers and when these technologies become attainable, they can vet it and develop best practices.  At ABRF 2014, Deborah Grove, Director of Genomics Core Facility at Penn State Huck Institute of the Life Sciences, demonstrates key applications in low-level pathogen detection using digital PCR on the QuantStudio™ 3D Digital PCR System.  The sensitive and absolute quantification capabilities of digital PCR were respectively used to detect a bacteria affecting Penn State campus elm trees as well as quantifying standards used in RNA virus real-time PCR assays.
