Abstract

The present application provides methods and devices for absolute quantification of polymerase chain reaction target nucleic acids. In particular, the methods and devices of the present application provide for splitting a nucleic acid sample to be analyzed into small, isolated volumes, conducting the method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on said volumes, detecting PCR amplification products, analyzing said detected PCR amplification products, performing absolute quantification of the PCR target and presenting said quantification results.
