Molecular biologists in government labs, academia and industry that practice the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with customized primers for detecting DNA can now use DuPont PCR Reagent Kits to simplify the process.

The PCR tablets in each kit deliver high-quality, standardized PCR reagents in a convenient, tableted format that provides standardization, long shelf life and stability. Users simply hydrate the tablets with their own primers and template DNA from biological samples such as bacteria, viruses and more.

“These kits provide research and industry with maximum convenience and flexibility,” said Amy Smith, regulatory specialist, DuPont Qualicon. “Customers can use the DuPont PCR Reagent Kits with any open PCR system and their detection method of choice for consistently reliable, reproducible reactions.”

DuPont Qualicon also markets the award-winning BAX system, which uses leading-edge technology, including PCR assays, tableted reagents and optimized media, to detect pathogens in food and the environment. With certifications and regulatory approvals in the Americas, Asia and Europe, the BAX system is recognized globally as the most advanced pathogen testing system available to food companies.  For tracking contamination and pinpointing its source, the DuPont Qualicon RiboPrinter system is an automated DNA-based method that identifies bacteria and provides sub-species characterization in the same test.
