Qualicon Launches Product for Molecular Biologists
Molecular biologists in government labs, academia and industry who practice the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with customized primers for detecting DNA can now use DuPont™ PCR Reagent Kits to simplify the process. PCR is a technique that amplifies a single or few copies of a piece of DNA, generating millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
The PCR tablets in each kit deliver high-quality, standardized PCR reagents in a convenient, tableted format that provides standardization, long shelf life and stability. Users simply hydrate the tablets with their own primers and template DNA from biological samples such as bacteria, viruses and more.
“These kits provide research and industry with maximum convenience and flexibility,” said Amy Smith, regulatory specialist – DuPont Qualicon. “Customers can use the DuPont™ PCR Reagent Kits with any open PCR system and their detection method of choice for consistently reliable, reproducible reactions.”
