The present invention provides for water-soluble mono- and dicationic fluorescent dyes with the latter exhibiting stable fluorescence at elevated temperatures. The present invention also provides for methods for the production of the fluorescent dyes and for using these dyes in biological assays such as multiplexing qPCR and tissue staining.

The present disclosure relates to methods for determining a viral titer of a biological sample, suitably from a mammalian cell sample. The methods include the use of mechanical disruption of the cells, followed by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) to determine the viral titer. Methods of mechanical disruption suitably include the use of glass beads.

Provided is a method for detecting and quantifying a nucleic acid in real time and at high speed. The present disclosure provides a real-time high-speed PCR method in which fluorescent signals can be measured from a single-wavelength light source by using a single signal fluorescent material under continuous temperature control. Thus, the PCR method can be performed with a compact lightweight device with a simplified structure.
