Our genetically-modified enzymes and other PCR products are designed to overcome common hurdles in the fields of clinical diagnostics, forensic analysis, food safety, detection of pathogens in the environment, and general molecular biology research.
PCR solutions for your application
DNA Polymerase Technology is constantly improving the base technology for detecting, analyzing and manipulating genes, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Our novel enzymes are capable of amplifying longer targets, with higher fidelity, more quickly, and in spite of inhibitory contaminants such as blood or soil. Our hot-start products improve the specificity of primer binding and help prevent "wrong bands".
