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.

Challenges of traditional PCR

Purchasing separate test kits increases inventory and decreases flexibility in ordering.

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

Purchasing individual components as needed improves inventory and provides flexibilty in ordering.

Target mixes Master mixes Negative control Positive control

 

 


Running RNA and DNA targets side by side rather than on separate plates is cost-effective and reduces waste.

Using a single cycling protocol ( <70 minutes) for all reactions and analyzing results at the same time is faster.


Eco-friendly real-time PCR
  • Electronic 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
     

Quality control starts with each component

  • Pooled positive control includes all RealPCR targets
  • Internal control included in all target mixes, many of which include a host-specific and nucleic acid-specific internal sample control for complete control of the PCR workflow
  • Laboratory monitoring tools and guidelines available to check for laboratory contaminations

Standardization streamlines workflow

  • RealPCR extraction kits for spin column-based and magnetic bead-based extraction of both DNA and RNA from a wide range of sample types
  • RealPCR modular reagents for maximum flexibility and standardization in workflow
     

Mic qPCR instrument

  • Small-sized 4-channel qPCR instrument for 48 samples
  • Easily scalable for larger sample volumes by connecting multiple instruments to one computer
  • Validated on all IDEXX RealPCR reagents
  • Minimum installation and service requirements
  • Complete thermal uniformity due to circular platform and magnetic induction
  • No reference dyes, calibration, or cross-talk compensation
