Highly efficient Applied Biosystems real-time PCR solutions minimize complexities to help maximize your time and effort
Real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), is the gold-standard for sensitive, specific detection and quantification of nucleic acid targets. We developed powerful assay design algorithms, optimized master mixes, created intuitive data analysis software, and built smart instrumentation to help harness the power of real-time PCR across a rich and diverse set of applications. However, our solutions go a step further: every product has been designed with efficiency baked in. And together they work synergistically to bring you a simpler, more flexible, and highly efficient real-time PCR workflow.

MicroRNA (miRNA) analysis
Solutions for miRNA research. miRNAs are small, noncoding RNA molecules that direct post-transcriptional suppression of gene expression.
Genetic variation analysis
Genetic variation refers to the differences in the DNA sequence encoded within our genomes. Specific applications include:
Protein expression analysis
TaqMan Protein assays combine the protein-binding of antibodies with the quantitation of real-time PCR. They enable fast, easy identification of proteins from small samples in a homogeneous assay format.
Mutation detection
Real-time PCR is a widely used technology for mutation detection that provides sensitivity and specificity when paired with TaqMan Assays and is fast and easy to perform compared to other methods. Explore these solutions:
