Roche and Precision System Science, Co., Ltd (PSS) today announced the signing of an exclusive agreement to develop and manufacture a fully automated emulsion PCR instrument for Roche's portfolio of ...

Here we describe a simplified method for direct breakage of the emulsion using the DNA binding buffer (containing guanidine hydrochloride and isopropanol) that is provided with commonly used silica ...

The Roche/454 GS FLX System is based on emulsion PCR [8] and pyrophosphate detection [9] techniques. A library of DNA templates is constructed by a highly efficient DNA amplification method known as ...

Quantitative real-time technology dominates the market today but digital PCR is on the rise. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential ...

Roche said today it granted a worldwide license for its portfolio of emulsion PCR (emPCR) patents to Sysmex Inostics, a molecular diagnostics provider that has been using the technology in several of ...

Not quite 30 years old, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the workhorse of many biology labs. While the basic premise—the amplification of DNA samples of interest—has remained constant, creative ...

Conventional “bulk” PCR often yields inefficient and nonuniform amplification of complex templates in DNA libraries, introducing unwanted biases. Amplification of single DNA molecules encapsulated in ...
