NG-PCR Machine

PCR time from 92 minutes to 17 minutes

We started using NextGen PCR during the COVID pandemic because we were looking for the fastest way to screen our people for SARS-CoV-2.

In our latest project, we converted a Chlamydia real-time PCR to a NextGen PCR assay and were able to reduce the PCR time from 92 minutes to 17 minutes very quickly.

We introduce many students, the employees of the future, to the equipment. It is very easy to achieve (significant) time savings by using NextGen PCR.

Saving time with PCR: Expediting care to cancer patients

One of the most time-consuming components of next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In our assays, time spent in PCR can sometimes equal or exceed all of the remaining steps of library preparation combined.

Consequently, by drastically reducing the time spent amplifying our genomic regions of interest, we can simultaneously shorten our turnaround time, thereby expediting care to Memorial Healthcare System cancer patients and improving their outcomes.

Essentially eliminating temperature ramping times, Molecular Biology Systems NextGenPCR will allow us to significantly improve turnaround time in all of our PCR-based clinical oncology testing assays, most notably our sequencing panels.

I honestly couldn’t recommend dealing with them more highly !

"We have worked with the very friendly team at MBS in Amsterdam on developing approaches for mpox WGS using their primer pools (MBS Cat. No. 50025). They talked us through their entire workflow including the nanopore NGS methodology they had developed.

I honestly couldn’t recommend dealing with them more highly and a great service which enabled us to do very high numbers of genomes from our cases and provide evi

MBS’ NextGenPCR solution for CoV2

Last January 2021, our lab Laboratorio di Servicio implemented and validated the MBS’ NextGenPCR solution for CoV2 screening, in Aruba.

We found this ultra-fast PCR technology easy to use, sensitive, specific and overall, really ultra-fast, both in throughput as well as time to result. Instead of the 300 tests a day, 1000 results per day were produced with a single NG-PCR system.

Safe tourism in Spain

Mallorca, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Alicante airports are running COVID19 PCR tests with our fast RT-PCR solution: Results in less than 1 hour! It was a pleasure for me to install the NextGenPCR instrument solution at Eurofins Megalab COVID test centers.
