Our Technology
At Breakwater Scientific, we aim to help our customers understand the biological insights in the nature.
With our cutting-edge technology, we offer products and services that enable our customers to gain valuable insights from any biological sample – from basic research to clinical healthcare.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a widely utilized technique in laboratories that allows for the replication of a specific segment of DNA. This segment can encompass various aspects of interest to the experimenter, including genes of unknown function or genetic markers employed by forensic experts to link crime scene DNA with potential suspects.
Typically, the goal of PCR is to make enough of the target DNA region that it can be analyzed or used in some other way. For instance, DNA amplified by PCR may be sent for sequencing, visualized by gel electrophoresis, or cloned into a plasmid for further experiments.
PCR is used in many areas of biology and medicine, including molecular biology research, medical diagnostics, and even some branches of ecology.
Our real-time PCR and RT-PCR portfolio is one of the most advanced. A unique combination of in-process controls removes variables and errors and streamlines your work. Combine this with an unparalleled catalog of predesigned PCR assays and panels, plus the ability to customize your own using our advanced design algorithms.
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) brings a more efficient and accurate method for detecting and analyzing nucleic acids in hospitals and laboratories. To solve the inconvenience of PCR reagent delivery and storage via cold-chain transportation, a solid-state reagent with robust characteristics should be employed. In this report, a lyophilized mix containing all necessary components for real-time PCR and its production method was designed, and its stability was tested at different temperatures. Some cryoprotectants and carriers are required to protect the function of the enzyme and primer as much as possible and provide the cake structure. Formulations with polyhydroxy compounds were considered to have the potential for protecting the enzymatic microstructure and functionality of dried mixes during the whole manufacturing and cold-free storage.
