CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new digital PCR (dPCR) application for the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System enables researchers to accurately phenotype the CYP2D6 gene, a key indicator of drug metabolism. Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the new application, which enhances its extensive offering in the pharmacogenomics (PGx) field, during the 2014 Association for Molecular Pathology conference in National Harbor, Md.
This latest application enables researchers to perform allele-specific copy number analysis on the hundreds of QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR systems used in labs worldwide. Combined with the existing QuantStudio12K Flex Real-Time PCR System, this comprehensive solution delivers a cost-effective method to reliably characterize drug metabolism enzymes (DME) genes such as CYP2D6 – a highly polymorphic gene whose expression is implicated in metabolizing roughly 85 percent of medications through Cytochrome P450 pathway.
