Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. recently announced the addition of the mouse genome to its PrimePCR assays for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Bio-Rad’s PrimePCR assays are the industry’s only real-time PCR primers that have been experimentally validated to ensure performance. “Based on the qPCR data I have seen in our lab and from researchers looking for support, [...]
In previous posts we discussed the trouble of PCR Inhibitors that plague quantitative PCR reactions and wreak havoc in all disciplines from botany to ancient forensic studies (see Beware the dangers of PCR Inhibitors for more on that topic). PCR inhibition is a frequent problem for people working with complex biological samples such as food, [...]
Although it has only been around for 2 or 3 years, the QX100™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system from Bio-Rad Laboratories has already received a prestigious award, and has been groundbreaking research into HIV and GMO quantification. In this short period of time, close to 50 labs have chosen to add the QX100 system to their [...]

A study published in PLOS ONE finds that Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology is suitable for routine analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, feed, and seeds. More than 60 countries representing 40 percent of the world’s population require labeling of food and feed when GMOs reach certain thresholds. Screening for and quantifying GMOs [...]
