CELLINK launches a real-time qPCR instrument
CELLINK has started reselling a qPCR instrument. The instrument uses a laboratory technique of molecular biology based on the polymerase chain reaction. It monitors the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR (i.e., in real time). qPCR is a proven and stable technology with numerous applications. It is commonly used for both diagnostic and basic research. Uses of the technique in the industry include the quantification of microbial load in foods, the detection of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and the quantification and genotyping of human viral pathogens such
