Abstract

Emulsion PCR (ePCR) has recently gained interest in the areas of food safety and biotechnology owing to its highly specific and sensitive performance in the amplification of target DNA. To facilitate the applications of ePCR to food safety and biotechnology, this paper describes the principles of ePCR and the factors that should be considered in designing ePCR. In addition, current research and applications related to ePCR are discussed.
