Applied Biosystems — Instruments and Assays for qPCR & Genetic Analysis

Applied Biosystems focuses on quantitative, traceable results in genetic analysis and real-time PCR. The portfolio anchors common lab workflows with QuantStudio™ real-time PCR systems, TaqMan™ assays and master mixes, MicroAmp™ plastics, and validated software tools—so setup, run, and review feel consistent across projects.

Beyond qPCR, Applied Biosystems is also a long-running standard in Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis with SeqStudio™ genetic analyzers and BigDye™ Terminator v3.1 chemistry. Matching capillary polymers and accessories help keep run quality stable while simplifying maintenance and documentation.
