PCR Platform from Dutch Firm MBS Claims 30 Cycles in Two Minutes | GenomeWeb
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Dutch startup Molecular Biology Systems has developed a thermal cycler that boasts amplification times of less than 10 minutes for a standard oncology molecular diagnostic, and as little as two minutes for 30-cycle PCR assays. The firm announced this week that its platform, called NEXTGENPCR, has been adopted by Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands for BRCA1 testing.
