Contamination can ruin your day or even week. Data is not valid, a lot of cleaning must be done and supplies are wasted. Precious time and even samples can be lost. Prevention is the best strategy!

To give you a better insight into our SolisFAST® qPCR range’s inhibitor tolerance capabilities, we have put together a white paper. It includes results from different tests, shows the real-life application possibilities and feedback from our partners about the SolisFAST® qPCR products.
