PCR applications have been in the spotlight for over two years with the arrival of Covid-19 and PCR being an essential part of the testing system around the world. The pandemic put additional pressure on labs for increased PCR testing which in turn, will have resulted in an increased number of failed reactions.

Failed PCR applications cost you both time and money, as well as generating an enormous amount of unnecessary lab waste. Performing a successful PCR first time is vital to saving all these valuable resources.
