Digital PCRs (dPCRs) are widely used methods for the detection and quantification of rare abundant sequences relevant to fields such as liquid biopsy or oncology. In order to increase the information content and save valuable sample materials, there is a significant need for digital multiplexing methods that are easy to establish, analyse, and interpret, and ideally allow the usage of existing lab equipment. Herein, we present a novel reporter emission multiplexing approach for the digital PCR method (REM-dPCR), which meets these requirements. It further increases the multiplexing capacity of commercial dPCR devices. For example, we present a stepwise increase in multiplexing degrees from a monochrome two-plex assay in one detection channel to a six-plex REM-dPCR assay in a three-color dPCR device for KRAS/BRAF single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) target sequences. The guidelines for the REM-dPCR design are presented, and the process from duplex to six-plex assay establishment, taking into account the target sequence-dependent effects on assay performance, is discussed. Furthermore, the assay-specific, sensitive and precise quantification of different fractions of KRAS mutant and wild-type DNA sequences in different ratios is demonstrated. To increase the device capacitance and the degree of multiplexing, the REM-dPCR uses the advantage of n target-independent reporter molecules in combination with target sequence-specific mediator probes. Different reporter types are labelled with fluorophores of different signal intensities but not necessarily different emission spectra. This leads to the generation of n independent single-positive populations in the dataspace, created by k detection channels, whereby n > k and n ≥ 2. By usage of target-independent but population-specific reporter types, a fixed set of six optimized signalling molecules could be defined. This reporter set enables the robust generation and precise differentiation of multiple fluorescence signals in dPCRs and can be transferred to new target panels. The set which enables stable signal generation and differentiation in a specified device would allow easy transfer to new target panels.
