Featured Testimonial
Dr. Stefan Green | Director | RUSH University Medical Centre Genomics & Microbiome Core Facility (GMCF)Tell us about your Amped PCR product application
“We have been developing applications on a new real-time PCR instrument called an iconPCR (N6tec), a 96-well real-time PCR instrument in which each well is independently controlled.
This allows the instrument to perform adaptive cycling – that is, changing the number of cycles based on observed fluorescence. It allows some autonormalization and the amplification of templates for which the exact number of cycles is not determined beforehand.
This can have applications for ultra-low biomass samples and for microbial amplicon library preparation for next-generation sequencing. In any case, we have been using Amped mastermixes with SYBR green already included to be able to both utilize the nice polymerase and mastermix, and to simplify our workflow with our iconPCR.”
What made you choose Amped PCR?
“We have been looking for PCR mastermixes that have very low background signal, and had good results with Amped for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. We’ve been happy with our ability to get Amped mastermixes made with and without SYBR and other bespoke modifications as needed.
It is also very helpful to have a 5X mastermix – this benefits us when making libraries from low concentration samples.
It’s been a pleasure working with the Amped team to get our desired mastermix and getting our logo on the tubes!”

Foodborne pathogens are estimated to cause approximately 2.4 million cases of illness annually in the UK.
To address this challenge, AMPED PCR has developed a high-performance multiplex qPCR assay targeting four of the most significant foodborne pathogens:
Salmonella · Bacillus cereus · Listeria · Campylobacter
The assay has been validated as a 4-plex, with a demonstrated limit of detection of <10 target molecules per pathogen, and includes a human gDNA Internal Extraction Control (IEC) to confirm extraction success and detect inhibition across the full workflow.
Each assay has been designed and validated to operate both as part of the multiplex panel and as an individual assay, ensuring no cross-talk, signal interference, or false positives when combined.
For users requiring greater flexibility, each pathogen assay is also available as a singleplex RUO kit (£495 per assay).
Singleplex kits include the same human gDNA IEC as the multiplex panel, allowing laboratories to select only the pathogens relevant to their pipeline while retaining full workflow control and confidence in performance.
All assays are validated as combinatorially compatible, enabling straightforward progression from singleplex evaluation to multiplex deployment without re-optimisation.
For trial kits, custom configurations, or white-label / OEM discussions, please contact to discuss your requirements.
