What is Emulsion PCR: Techniques and Applications about?

Emulsion PCR (EmPCR) is a commonly employed method for template amplifi cation in multiple NGSbased sequencing platforms. The basic principle of emPCR is dilution and compartmentalization of template molecules in water droplets in a water-in-oil emulsion. Ideally, the dilution is to a degree where each droplet contains a single template molecule and functions as a micro-PCR reactor. Here, we discuss the basic principles, advantages, and challenges of applications of emPCR in clinical testing. We describe the methods of preparation and enrichment of template-positive Ion PGMTM Template OT2 200 Ion SphereTM Particles (ISPs) on the Ion Personal Genome Machine ® (PGMTM) System. For routine clinical testing, following library generation, we employ the automated Ion OneTouchTM System that includes the Ion OneTouchTM 2 and the Ion OneTouchTM ES instruments for template generation and enrichment of template-positive ISPs, respectively.
