The IDEXX RealPCR Modular Platform
Standardized. Streamlined. Efficient.
RealPCR platform with single components standardized to work together. Run multiple targets on a single plate and purchase individual components only when you need them.

Benefits
Standardized PCR work flow and reduced turnaround time with a single PCR programme for all DNA and RNA reagents
Streamlined PCR work flow and reduced errors with a shared master mix and a shared positive control to be used with all target mixes
Efficient ordering and reagent handling with single PCR components instead of kits
Eco-friendly real-time PCR
- Electronical inserts easily accessible with a QR code
- Lyophilized reagents to eliminate the need of dry-ice shipments
- Reagents in small pouches to minimize packaging material
Comparison
Challenges of traditional PCR
Purchasing individual test kits increases inventory and decreases flexibility in ordering.
| DNA test kit 1 | DNA test kit 2 | RNA test kit1 | RNA test kit 2 |

|
Running individual targets on separate plates increases time to results.
Running separate real-time PCR cycling programs increases the investment in real-time instruments.
Benefits of the modular RealPCR platform
Purchase individual components as needed.
| Target mixes | DNA/RNA master mixes |
Negative control | Positive control |

|
|
Run RNA and DNA targets side by side rather than on separate plates.
Use a single cycling protocol ( <70 minutes) for all reactions and analyze results at the same time.
