Compared with traditional real-time fluorescence PCR, digital PCR can achieve absolute quantification of nucleic acid copy number and detection sensitivity of up to 0.01%, which has a wide application prospect. After more than ten years of development, among various technical paths, "micro-chip" has gradually become the mainstream technical route of digital PCR with its excellent homogeneity, stability and high efficiency, and is also the technical direction chosen by many international giants.

ZZ Bio was founded in 2016 and headquartered in Shanghai, with R&D and production centres in various locations across China, which is the leader in micro-chip digital PCR technology in China. The company's team comes from well-known multinational companies and research institutions, and has rich experience in R&D and industrialisation of core technologies such as micro and nano processing, precision instruments, biological reagents, clinical applications and software algorithms, and has broken through the technical difficulties of micro-chip manufacturing and surface treatment processes, and successfully achieved low-cost mass production.
