Polymerase chain reaction

Automated nucleic acid extractors

Automated nucleic acid extractors machines which prepare samples efficiently from a variety of materials using purification System, which offers highly versatile, automated magnetic-particle processing for DNA/RNA, protein or cell purification from virtually any source. Using revolutionary magnetic particle separation technology, this system provides excellent reproduciblity and quality.

Real-time PCR machines

Real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), is the gold-standard for sensitive, specific detection and quantification of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) targets. Real-time PCR/qPCR assays have become the tool of choice for the rapid and sensitive determination and quantitation of nucleic acid in various biological samples, with diverse applications such as, molecular diagnostics, gene expression analysis and cancer phenotyping. AICBU have powerful, precise, and flexible real-time PCR detection systems with advanced optical technology to deliver sensitive, reliable detection for singlexplex or multiplex reactions.

Droplet PCR machine

Droplet PCR is a second-generation digital PCR system provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules using EvaGreen or TaqMan Hydrolysis Probes. Unmatched sensitivity and precision for various applications such as Cancer biomarker studies and copy number variation, Pathogen detection, Gene expression analysis etc
