A sample is fractionated into 20,000 droplets, and PCR amplification of the template molecules occurs in each individual droplet. Following PCR, each droplet is analyzed or read to determine the fraction of PCR-positive droplets in the original sample. These data are then analyzed to determine the target DNA template concentration in the original sample.</p></div> <div id="uid-7hu6e-2" class="tab-pane fade in "><p>Bio-Rad’s <a
