2nd qPCR and Digital PCR Congress 2014, London

Bioline are pleased to be sponsoring and exhibiting at the 2nd qPCR and Digital PCR Congress in London, England on 20th and 21st October.

The meeting brings together key opinion leaders from industry and academia, and covers a range of important topics in real-time PCR, including:

• MIQE guidelines and standardization
• Quality control of real-time PCR assays
• Real-time PCR assay design, optimisation and validation
• Pathogen detection and quantification
• Sample preparation and quality control
• Single cell expression analysis
• Clinical and drug development applications
• miRNA, ncRNA, siRNA applications
• Bioinformatics and data analysis

Case studies in infectious diseases, vaccines, cancer, prenatal diagnosis, diagnostic and clinical applications, microbiology, food microbiology, plant and ecological genomics, as well as other novel applications will be presented.

A special session at the congress will be devoted to plant breeding, plant genomics and applied food and plant pathogen testing:

• Plant and ecological genomics
• Detection and identification of plant pathogens
• Gene expression analysis
• Real-time PCR in food research
• Food safety
• Genetically modified organism (GMO) quantification in food

Bioline maintains a significant real-time PCR research and development facility based in London, the heart of the MedCity biocluster for life science, which includes the new Francis Crick Institute.

See our Your Partner for Plant Research microsite to learn about some of our best tools to enhance your plant research experiments, and download our Plant Research Solutions Guide.

We will be showcasing our latest real-time PCR technological developments at the congress, including the new SensiFAST cDNA Synthesis Kit, a fast, easy-to-use method of generating the highest quality cDNA for highly accurate real-time PCR results.

Bioline will also be highlighting our industrial capabilities for custom manufacturing, including enzymes, buffer chemistries, dyes and internal controls for a wide range of applications from plant genotyping, agribiotech, pathogen testing and cancer research, to biomarkers and diagnostics research.

Our friendly team of real-time PCR specialists will be on-hand at our exhibition booth throughout the event and glad to answer your queries and discuss your research requirements.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2014 congress.

Bioline Launches the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit — Single Tube Extraction of PCR-Ready DNA from Mammalian Tissue

Bioline: The PCR Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVO), is proud to announce the worldwide release of the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit.

Powered by the high-performance MyTaq™ DNA Polymerase, the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit offers a quick and easy alternative for the extraction and amplification of DNA from a variety of mammalian tissue types.

Researchers using the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit can replace complicated, time-consuming extraction methods with a simple 15 minute, single tube, protocol; making it perfect for high-throughput applications, such as mouse genotyping and sequencing.

Marco Calzavara, President of Bioline commented:

“With the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit researchers can now quickly achieve the purity and yield necessary for high-performance PCR and Real-Time PCR experiments from solid tissues, such as mouse tail or mouse ear. This makes the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit the perfect addition to our widely used PCR reagents.”

Richard L. Eberly, President of Meridian Life Science, Inc., stated:

“We are delighted to release the MyTaq™ Extract-PCR Kit, another product in the rapidly expanding portfolio of highly specialized molecular biology reagents from Bioline. We are committed to our life science customers and to bringing innovation and quality products; such as the family of MyTaq™ products to the research laboratory, clinical diagnostic laboratories, and biotechnology companies.”
