Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) detection plays a critical role in monitoring cancer recurrence, especially in hematological malignancies like leukemia. Rainsure Digital PCR (dPCR) offers an industry-leading solution for MRD tracking—delivering ultra-sensitive, quantitative detection directly from liquid biopsy samples with accuracy that outperforms both NGS and qPCR.
With detection limits as low as 0.001% (1 in 100,000), and MR 5.0 sensitivity for BCR-ABL p210, Rainsure is redefining how clinicians monitor patient response, guide therapy decisions, and detect relapse earlier than ever before.
Track MRD at levels as low as 1 in 100,000 cells—crucial for early relapse prediction and long-term remission assessment.
Rainsure is optimized for cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, enabling non-invasive monitoring.
Detect and quantify BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts at MR 5.0, meeting the highest clinical standards for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) monitoring.
Rainsure provides International Scale (IS) and MR (Molecular Response) value reporting, making it fully compatible with global clinical guidelines.

Can Rainsure detect MRD earlier than NGS?
Yes. Rainsure dPCR achieves higher sensitivity and faster results than NGS, making it ideal for early relapse detection and routine clinical monitoring.
What does MR5.0 mean in leukemia?
MR5.0 indicates a 5-log reduction in BCR-ABL1 transcript levels, corresponding to a residual disease level of 0.001%. Rainsure fully supports MR4.0 to MR5.0 reporting.
Is it compatible with existing IS standards?
Yes. Rainsure reports results on the International Scale (IS), ensuring global consistency in CML management.
Rainsure Digital PCR delivers unrivaled MRD detection sensitivity, precise BCR-ABL monitoring to MR5.0, and full IS/MR value reporting—surpassing the capabilities of NGS and qPCR. Combined with its compatibility with liquid biopsy, Rainsure provides clinicians with a powerful tool for early intervention, treatment guidance, and improved patient outcomes in leukemia and beyond.
Stay one step ahead of relapse. Choose Rainsure Digital PCR for MRD precision that saves lives.
