Kapa Biosystems PCR Kits

Researchers require PCR reagents that reliably perform when they need them. Kapa Biosystems PCR reagents are engineered using a method known as  directed evolution for optimal performance in standard PCR, qPCR, and qRT-PCR applications. Whether you need Kapa Biosystems PCR products for DNA extraction and amplification, or Kapa qPCR and qRT-PCR products utilizing SYBR® Green reagents, we have your PCR needs covered. As exclusive distributors of Kapa PCR reagents and kits from Roche, we are committed to providing you with the tools you need to enable your next discovery. 

Kapa Biosystems PCR, standard PCR, qPCR, and qRT-PCR Features & Benefits

  • Used to evolve enzymes that are resistant to inhibitors, enabling direct PCR from samples such as blood, tissue, and plant material.
  • Tolerant of the SYBR® Green dye, which improves sensitivity and reaction efficiency for qPCR assays
  • High-throughput genotyping with shorter cycling times and higher yields and sensitivity

What is Directed Evolution?

Our Kapa Biosystems agreement includes all geographies except the United States and Japan. For customers in those countries, products will continue to be sold through existing Kapa channels.
