Optimization of droplet digital PCR assays for the type-specific detection and quantification of five HPV genotypes, including additional data on viral loads of nine different HPV genotypes in cervical carcinomas

•Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for HPV genotype-specific quantification of five HPV genotypes were optimized.•The method for HPV viral load analysis showed to be suitable both in formalin-fixed paraffin-imbedded and cytology tissue.•Total HPV viral load in multiple- and single-HPV genotype infe...
