PCR and qPCR Challenges
From the appropriate system, quality, and quantity control equipment to reagents and consumables, they all play their role in the outcome of PCR.
What type of PCR system do I need?
How to optimize qPCR?
The quantitative PCR workflow is straightforward: Isolation, purity and integrity check, and finishing with a qPCR reaction. Here are 9-steps to follow.
Products
We won't leave you with only the information. We offer excellent tools, from basic needs like tubes, plates, and pipette tips to high-end qPCR systems. We have selected the solutions we provide to ensure you can be confident in your experimental design and trust your data, now and in the future.
Our approach
The PCR technique has been around for so long that it is second nature to work with it. We must dig deep into our memories to pick the first moment we started working with it ourselves. We do know it only came to life once we performed PCR ourselves.
So whether it is the PCR thermocycler, qPCR system, reagents, or plastics, we know you need to get the feel of it to decide if it will work for you. Trial and error, playing around to make every new aspect of the process your own, is of utmost importance. That is why we will always sit down with you. We will take the time to understand your workflow and find the bottlenecks to work toward a solution.
Our decades of knowledge in genomics, our suppliers' expertise, and reliable solutions ensure that bringing your experiments to the next level is just one call away.
