A two-target multiplex reaction uses 50% less buffer, enzyme, and vessels than
2 single-plex reactions. A three-target multiplex reaction uses 67% less buffer,
enzyme, and vessels than 3 single-plex reactions.

A simple duplex can save $1.00/sample. Imagine the $
savings that a triplex, a 4-plex, or 5-plex can produce.
With our assay development guarantee, can you really afford not to multiplex?

Reliable quantification data require internal reaction
controlsaction controls
Internal controls allow PCR scientists to:
-establish the presence of reaction inhibitors
-compensate for anomylous setup variations
-normalize for sample preparation-control their PCR!

Real-time PCR instruments are expensive and instrument
throughput is a primary bottleneck in many laboratories.
Multiplex PCR alleviates bottlenecks.....Enabling a single
instrument to yield two, three, four, or even FIVE times the data of an
instrument solely performing single-plex assays.
