NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Successfully executing all the pipetting steps to set up a real-time PCR reaction requires focused concentration. In high-complexity labs performing multiple tests per run, this can also be quite demanding of technician time.
A new instrument from BioMérieux now aims to simplify this process, allowing walk-away PCR setup of a 96-well plate in around 35 minutes.
Called easyStream, the instrument was highlighted by the firm at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry annual meeting and lab expo last week in Atlanta.
