Droplet digital PCR

Learn how reaction partitioning and Poisson correction estimate target copies. Explore droplet occupancy, sampling uncertainty and rare-variant detection.

Open interactive laboratory →
Simulated droplets and signals

Follow

From reaction preparation to endpoint fluorescence reading.

Experiment

Change concentration and droplet count; observe Poisson correction and uncertainty.

Interpret

Compare DNA input, mutant fraction, false-positive background and analyzed volume.

Educational model with synthetic data. Droplet volume and false positives are illustrative assumptions. Sampling probability is not clinical sensitivity; this resource does not validate assays or describe CTMM equipment or available services.
