Limit of Blank Variability as a Determinant of Analytical Sensitivity in a DNA-Binding Dye-Based Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae

Digital PCR is considered a highly sensitive technique for detecting low-abundance DNA in samples containing excess background DNA. This is particularly relevant for Chlamydia pneumoniae infections, as this obligatory intracellular bacterium can be disseminated by phagocytes from the respiratory tract throughout the wh...
