Supplying PCR reagents for microbial, food and environmental DNA testing
Microbial DNA testing must detect low-abundance targets without confusing them with contamination in reagents. Complex food and environmental samples can inhibit PCR, while cold-chain shipping adds logistical constraints for laboratories and microbial research teams.
Amped PCR supplies research-use PCR reagents for microbial, food and environmental testing. Its mixes support multiple targets in one test and ambient shipping, with direct sales and white-label supply for laboratories and assay developers.
