| | Product Description | |
| Roche’s patented polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, the world’s leading nucleic acid amplification technology, is an essential component of Roche’s blood screening assays and other diagnostic products. PCR allows minute amounts of selected unique regions of genetic material to be amplified into billions of copies (that is, to detectable levels) in only a few hours. In addition to its applications in nucleic acid fingerprinting and the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, PCR enables detection of infectious agents in donated blood earlier in the infection cycle, often before symptoms appear. Standard immunoassay testing, in contrast, detects evidence of a body’s immune response (antibodies) later in the infection cycle, leaving an increased period of time when infections can be missed. | |
