Q Chip Ltd Q Chip, a leading developer of microencapsulation solutions, has launched ReaX™ Lab-in-a-Bead - an innovative gel-based bead for effortless PCR. The new ReaX Mastermix Lab-in-a-Bead range encapsulates all the reagents required to perform PCR in a single dose within the bead. This allows even untrained operators to set up PCR reactions in any thermal cycler system, whilst giving highly reproducible results. PCR reactions can now be easily taken out of the laboratory, opening up field based applications ranging from bacterial detection to DNA-based security tagging – effectively ushering in the era of ‘Lab-in-a-Bead’ technology. Location: Q Chip Ltd, The MediCentre, Heath Park, Cardiff, CF14 4UJ UK
