In high-throughput environments such as diagnostic kit development, pharmaceutical research, and OEM manufacturing, reducing PCR and qPCR costs is rarely as simple as choosing the lowest-priced reagent. Cost per reaction is often the first metric considered, but it does not fully reflect the true financial impact of a workflow.

Our last story ended in the middle of 2005. By then, we had spent a decade developing room-temperature stable DNA polymerases for a range of applications. In the second half of that year, we reached a turning point – we started blending and mixing to help scientists around the world reduce pipetting errors and save time.

It doesn’t happen often that products developed almost three decades ago remain not only on the product list but as one of the most popular products overall. This is, however, the case with our main polymerases. These have become classics that seem to never go out of style like jeans or a little black dress. So, what makes them so special? Let’s take a look!

Have you ever thought about doing a PCR experiment, but you are not quite sure what product to use? Or the product you have chosen doesn’t work as well as it should and you are looking for an alternative? We are here to help you out with some recommendations from fellow scientists based on different application possibilities.
