PCR and qPCR

How optimal is your PCR workflow?

What a shift in research it brought, the PCR technology! Developed by the Nobel Prize winner Karry Mullis, It is impossible to imagine DNA research and other fields without this revolutionizing technology.

We embraced this technology so quickly that sometimes we forget to consider whether the tools and setup are good laboratory practice. Learn about the mechanisms contributing to good laboratory PCR and qPCR practice here. On this page we explain the challenges most labs face working with PCR and quantitative PCR. It is such an easy technique to work with that a mistake made may be overlooked. We will show you the best tools in place so you can concentrate on the experimental setup.

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?

PCR systems are available abundantly. But ever wondered which system best suits your need? Have a look at our selection guide here.

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.
