Kapa Biosystems Introduces PROBE FORCE- an Amplification-free qPCR Master Mix for Challenging Sample Types

Kapa Biosystems announced the introduction of KAPA PROBE FORCE, a highly inhibitor resistant qPCR master mix that removes the need for DNA purification, enabling streamlined sample-to-quantitation in less than an hour.

The master mix contains a high-performance engineered DNA polymerase enzyme specially designed to overcome blood, tissue, and plant PCR inhibitors. With KAPA PROBE FORCE, crude samples can now be analyzed with comparable accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity as purified DNA. The product is designed for low- or high-throughput genotyping, as well as gene expression studies.

“KAPA PROBE FORCE is ideally suited for direct qPCR analysis of challenging sample types without the need for purification,” said Charles Joseph, Global Product Manager, qPCR at Kapa Biosystems. “Customers can create streamlined, cost-effective workflows designed to fit any budget, without compromise.”
