Result of the droplet digital PCR. The upper panel represents one-dimensional plot of droplets measured for a fluorescence signal emitting from the SS18-SSX1 or SS18-SSX2 positive sample (amplitude is indicated on a vertical axis, while the number of events is indicated on the horizontal axis). Positive droplets are shown in blue. Negative droplets are shown in grey. The lower panel shows the event numbers in column charts of two FFPE tumor samples used as positive controls and three blood samples (case 6, 3 and 15). In case no. 3, we could detect eight events representing the SS18-SSX2 fusion transcript as processed by QuantaSoft™ (Bio-Rad). Cases no. 6 and 15 were negative to the SS18-SSX1 and SS18-SSX2 fusion genes
