ABOUT
We turn molecular data into decisions.
Amped PCR makes high-performance qPCR reagents with very low bacterial background and no cold chain, designed for labs that care about clean data and simple logistics.
Very low bacterial background means your signal comes from your sample, not the kit, which matters when you are working at low copy number or on 16S, microbiome, environmental and contamination-sensitive work.
No cold chain means no dry ice, no frozen logistics, and nothing to spoil if a shipment is held up at customs or on a loading bay.
At 5X concentration, each tube goes further, providing you with more reactions.
We supply reagents directly through our online store, so you can buy them off the shelf or choose a white-label solution under your own brand. Custom and multiplex panels are at the core of what we do.
Want to put us to the test?
Ask for a sample, talk to us about white-label and private-label solutions, or bring us a panel you need designed. We'd be happy to help.
