In molecular biology, slow PCR extension cycles can quickly become a major bottleneck in daily laboratory operations.

Anyone who has worked with real-time PCR knows the challenge: you design a robust assay, only to have the reaction fail because the sample contains PCR inhibitors.

Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard for RNA detection, but its performance is often compromised by inhibitors present in crude biological and environmental samples.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has transformed molecular biology, enabling applications ranging from basic research to clinical diagnostics and food safety testing.
