Applied Biosystems real-time PCR respiratory research products

Real-time PCR products with high analytical sensitivity are needed to support laboratory research to study outbreaks and determine disease etiology where pathogens are similar.

Applied Biosystems real-time PCR respiratory research products are used to analyze a range of respiratory pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, with high analytical sensitivity.

These solutions are efficient, generate informative results, and solve many of the challenges associated with the use of immunoassay-based, culture-based, and other molecular research methods.

Applied Biosystems TrueMark real-time PCR solutions are part of a sample-to-results workflow. Benefits include the ability to:

Detect and differentiate multiple pathogens
Obtain reliable real-time PCR results—Accurate, sensitive, and specific
Select from multiple format options to suit your testing capacity—Choose from single tube assays, 96- or 384-well plates, cards, or OpenArray plates
Order individual assays, predesigned panels, or customize your own—Select from a catalogue of >600 assays targeting pathogens or resistance genes
Reduce time-to-implementation—Accelerate and streamline your validation process with Analytical Validation Consulting Services
