Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is now a decades-old and established technique for quantifying DNA and RNA. But in recent years, a challenger has emerged in the form of digital PCR, which provides advantages in terms of sensitivity and ease of analysis.

In this interview with Dr. Jim Huggett from the University of Surrey and National Measurement Laboratory at LGC in the United Kigdom, we talk about the pros and cons of digital PCR and how it compares with both qPCR and next-gen sequencing as a research and discovery method.
