Controllability of (q)PCR
To be able to obtain an accurate and reproducible result in (q)PCR, all variables of this process,including reagents, oligonucleotides, template DNA, plastics and thermocycler, need to be controlled.
The BIOzym group, through CYCLERtest BV and BIOplastics BV, focuses on the two variables which are most often under-estimated and overlooked: The (q)PCR plastics and the thermal performance of the (Real-Time) thermocycler.
CYCLERtest BV offers multi-channel thermal calibration equipment and ISO 17025 accredited calibration services for (q)PCR thermocyclers. For more information on calibration for (q)PCR thermocyclers refer to www.cyclertest.com, www.driftcon.com, www.celsiuslabs.com or call +31(0)45 533 8733.
BIOplastics BV manufactures Extreme Uniform plastics making it possible to control the plastic consumable aspect of the (q)PCR process. BIOplastics focuses on (q)PCR plates, strips and tubes as well as the disposables used during the pre- and post-(q)PCR process; more specifically filtertips, pipette tips, sampling tubes and racks, (cryo) storage tubes and racks, kit content reactions vessels and micro centrifuge tubes.
To control your (q)PCR in the best possible way, so you can obtain the most reproducible and accurate results, BIOplastics developed a state-of-the-art range of (q)PCR disposables called: Extreme Uniform (q)PCR plastics.

These plastics are characterized by Extreme Uniformity in:

  • Wall thickness
  • Low evaporation rates
  • High thermal conductivity (if applicable)
  • Low binding
  • High liquid retention (if applicable)
  • High signal to noise ratios
Leading to extreme uniform reaction conditions in (q)PCR.
