In related news, a recent study by Meierrieks et al. has unveiled groundbreaking findings in the titration of AAV in clarified crude cell lysate. The study compared various dPCR methods, with Stilla’s Crystal Digital® PCR technology utilizing the Ruby Chip emerging as one of the top performers.
Crystal Digital® PCR showcased exceptional results and minimal coefficient of variation (CV) with just 5 µl of total volume and 1 µl of sample. This remarkable efficiency underscores the potential of the Ruby chip for precise and reliable AAV titration, presenting significant advancements in molecular diagnostics.
