Providing the right clinical diagnostic tools for the job

Powerful enzymes for challenging assays

Takara Bio is a world leader in PCR and RT-PCR enzymes and offers a wide range of high-performance enzymes for both routine and challenging reaction conditions that are validated for clinical applications.

Flexible high-throughput real-time PCR

SmartChip Real-Time PCR System is a complete high-throughput solution that enables an unrivaled amount of flexible assay and sample formats, allowing you to seamlessly switch between dispensing assay reagents and samples into blank chips, or dispensing samples into custom, preprinted chips without the need for revalidation. 

Improved detection of low-copy-number targets

Preamplification is a powerful technique to boost the copy number of targets of interest, allowing the identification of rare or low-level targets or pathogens in complex samples. The key consideration when performing preamplification is ensuring your mix is highly sensitive and minimizes bias.

Enhanced stability with lyophilization

Stability during shipping and storage can be especially important due to freezer storage availability or costs associated with shipping on dry ice. Lyophilization of polymerases, mixes, and complete molecular assays addresses some of these challenging requirements.
