BHQplex™ CoPrimers™ - Redefining Multiplex PCR
 
Independent of samples being tested, PCR applications rely on technology platforms that are fast, accurate, and affordable. In most cases, sample demand outpaces budget availability - and even with flat, or sometimes declining, budgets, researchers and lab directors are still being asked to deliver more. Multiplex PCR is a viable option for accelerating data generation, maintaining data quality, and delivering more data per R&D dollar spent. BHQplex™ CoPrimers™, the newest PCR technology in LGC, Biosearch Technologies’ portfolio, overcomes a critical challenge of traditional multiplex PCR by enabling assay interchangeability - a capability that no other multiplex PCR technology can deliver. Now multiplex PCR can move beyond a set panel of targets run over many samples, and can be broadly deployed as a cost-saving technology - allowing labs to meet the demand to do more with less.
